Re: We need a second build season
Why not start up a VEX team during the off season? It would give you a chance to prototype different systems, and it's a really good platform to learn programming on. You can even build a VEX model of your 2006 robot and drive the two alongside each other (awww, how cute).

Why not begin a First Lego League team at an elementary school in your town? Introduce kids to the principals of engineering and get them excited to join the FRC team when they get to high school.

There's a lot of things you could do besides build another full sized robot.
