My top, number 1 suggestion for you: Reprogram last year's robot this fall. Start from scratch, and don't reuse any code from last year. Once you can get it up and running again with all of your own code, you'll know you're ready to tackle the new robot on day 1 of the build season.
I tried the former with mu son. He came back some days later with "Dad, what will rm -rf /* do?"
