Lost 1/6th of build season...

[Jon Stratis]

Fortunately, this happened early! Spend the time brain storming, talking with people on the phone or online, and figuring out how your going to play the game. You can come up with detailed drawings of what you want to build, detailed lists of all the parts you'll need (Tip: Just because school is closed doesn't mean FedEx is too... get parts orders in as soon as you know what you'll need!) and in general just spend all this time focusing on the fundamentals of your design. If you come in with a strong design and game plan when the school opens, you'll find that things move a lot faster!
