Build Season

I'm going to be the team leader next year (maybe... I'm the only one nominated for the position right now, lol) and I need some input from you guys.

How often do you guys meet during build season? For how long? How long do you design for? Do you build a prototype? Does the whole team get to see kickoff? Is there some big kickoff meeting that everyone gets together for? Where do you build? Do you organize your meetings around your engineer's schedule? Are there subsections on your team (arm team, claw team, drivetrain team, electrical team), or does the team handle all of it?

Also, a couple of other things unrelated to scheduling...

Does everyone on the team automatically get to go to Regionals and Nationals? Is there a selection process? How do you determine who is driver, secondary, human player?

Thanks!
