Hey welcome to the wonderful world of Embedded Systems engineering. It not only happens at FIRST but in industry too. 13 to 26 week lead time on parts and boards....and management expects the firmware to be done and tested the day the boards arrive...There's a lot of truth in those Dilbert cartoons we laugh at. (sad to say)

Next year build up an electrical board that you can develop code on, then drop into the robot the last week when the mechanicals catch up.
