During the competitions, judges walk around and interview team's members. They use a lot of this information as a basis for winning the awards (section 9 of the Manual, if you can get them to read it!).. Therefore, EVERYONE on the team must be familiar with the game as well as the robot as well as team information - everything from your team's colors or motto or sponsors' names or how many people are on your team - to what kind of drive train are you using - to questions about the game and its rules.

If your team is not already planning to write a Chairman's Award submission, DO IT. It's a good way to condense what your team is all about, and you can use it when making presentations to potential sponsors.
