A couple of thoughts:

The people holding a lot of the knowledge that you seek, are your mentors. Spend time listening to them, working with them, observing them. Many FIRST mentors love to share their knowledge and their wisdom and your time on the team will grow in value by appreciating and learning from their experiences.

The second thought is that if you accumulate enough knowledge by the time that you are a senior, you will be able to literally build a FIRST robot as a member of a team, having learned to work together - everyone doing their part.

Good luck with this!
