Wake up real early this Saturday, watch the webcast, get a good breakfast, some Starbucks if you want, then go to the rest of your team and brain storm, then some more brain storming. Understand the physics of the field, how it works, what makes it tick. Try to imagine everything people can do, then build your bot. Come back in 5 weeks and look at the pictures online and be amazed how often you say, "WE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT!"
