Do you mean that you *just* started your team and are registered for a local
tournament?  Because competition is just 2 to 3 weeks away, and that's a
pretty tall order. But good luck to you and your team.
        If it were me and I had just started, I would not enter into this
year's competition, but hold an after school program starting in January
every other week, teaching them programming and then enter next fall's
tournament.  Definitely go to this year's event, even as a spectator,
because being at the competition teaches you a lot.
     As for books to teach lego to your team,. I highly recommend Educate
NXT
http://www.educatenxt.com/
It's the best value for your money and time.  Carnegie Mellon also has an
excellent series called Robotic Engineering.  They started a free online
class equivalent but I can't seem to find that link right now;  Maybe
someone else has that link.
Regards,
Brandy
