On team 100, we had 2-3 people attend the remote kickoff and then they came back and shared the game with us. We then thought of a basic strategy that would be most effective. The first two weeks we designed the robot, and then we started building it. We were split into subsections, like drivetrain, arm, electronics, but we ended up with a mechanics and an electronics division. We were meeting around three times a week at the start, and then once we really got into the build period we were working every day till about 11:00 PM. Everyone can go to regionals as long as you have a way to get there. We usually decide who will be the driver by having tryouts of all the people who want to participate. We had our two leaders alternate between being coaches, and the human players practiced for a few hours a couple of times. Hope this helps.
