Very difficult to do that until you know the game, how your robot is going to interact with the game and number of motors / actuators needed. Even something as "standard" as a drive train will vary wildly from year to year due to the field.

I would recommend obtaining any sensors you intend to use this season, or in the near future seasons and begin prototyping / learning how they work.
