Word of advice: Build the drive train early on. Before kickoff, even.

Make a very basic drive before the season, train your drivers on it... and let the programmers work with it. This way, you'll know what you need to do, what improvements are necessary, and also you'll be able to make your drivetrain by the end of the first build week.

When the season does start, immediately design the new one, and build it... all the while you can prototype with the other, and continue to train with it. The earlier everyone gets their hands on your completed drivetrain, the better off you'll be.
