It's probable that all of you have reached your melting points as far as pre-ship tension. Let that cool off.
After you've all gotten a break from robots, start working on stuff like buttons or other giveaways, and spirit stuff. Organize everything you need for the pits. Get everyone on the team psyched. Tell your principal and all your teachers about the event. Get as many people as you can to come.
Mostly: relax for now, then get geared up!

To add to Libby's wisdom -
We start our to-do lists in all the different areas, including travel plans.
Some of the sub-teams are still meeting deadlines and are working towards those.
Each team member has a fundraiser he/she is responsible for researching and/or implementing and this down time can be used for that. For example, we had one during the last week of build for our parents and friends at Taco Cabana. That was one team member's fundraising contribution to the team. We will have a jewelry making workshop during this time as well. We make jewelry out of nuts and bolts, wire - different things we find and use in the shop.
Students will get back on track with their studies, their sleep cycles - yup, that is important people - and their social lives. Mentors will re-unite with their families.
There will be discussions regarding strategy, the other regional competitions, the robot, traveling as 418 and what that means regarding Gracious Professionalism and attitude.
And, as Libby says, we'll start gearing up.
