It may be hell if your team doesn't work together well at the beginning, but as long as you know your teams limits (funding, experience, etc.) and you base your ideas and your wants towards them, you won't feel that disappointed when your robot is completed. Also, what I like to do is take it one step at a time.
An example is first do drive train. When it is done drive around with it and feel good.
Next would be ball manipulator 1 (for 1923 its a piston to push ball off overpass). Finish that and play around with it...feel good.
Last would be ball manipulator 2 (claw type thing). Finish that and grab the balls a couple of times and feel good.
This way, you have fun. That is my favorite part.
