Stick to the basics is what I would say. As stated above, don't worry about animation or awards. Also, don't create so many departments in your team that will stress you out. Try combining departments together. Example: my team has combined the electrical team with the programming team. Remember what Woody said, "Find the simplicity in the complexity." I'm sure though that your team will get things done and will be ready for your first regional. And if you get stuck at a regional, ask other teams there to help. They will be happy to help.

Good Luck from Team 858, the Delphi Demons!
