being a second year team with myself and one other junior the only 2 who participated last year we have similar problems. We are lucky to have plenty of tools and a lab but aside from that its mainly on our 1 experienced mentor and myself to get ideas on paper and to get people working. What you need to do is find a place for tooling and gather everyone for a final design concentrating on driving to start. Get something running and have separate people on the programming. If you do this you will get a working robot, it may not be the best, but at least you've done as much as you could and your rookies have learned something. good luck
