This is what I was going to suggest. I speant a lot of time here last year finding out what kinds of projects team had done and some of their marketing techniques. The Hall of Fame represents the teams in FIRST, the ones we could all learn a lot from.
As a student who has had to do survey type forms in the past I can vouche for what they can and can't do. They can provide consistent information to the team in an organized manner. At the same time though, they do not really require the person doing the survey to really have to think about what he is asking.
I would definantly have the kids find stuff they are interested in and have them talk to teams, watch matches, walk around the pits, and observe all aspects of the competition. Maybe your team could do an activity in which you guys find flaws or just things you could improve within your team, have the students observe and take notes of all activites that could affect a certain issue your team is having. After the competition each member could do a persentation to the rest of the team on what they saw and ideas they disscussed or thought of to better the team.
Again, all of the ideas my fellow CD's have posted are great things to look at or do with a team to research. You just have to find what works with your group of kids.
