I've done one Startup Weekend, and it was a little different than I expected - the emphasis wasn't necessarily on technology, so don't worry about not being able to contribute on a technical level. Instead, what Startup Weekend is about is really more about trying to get out some kind of MVP that you can take to potential customers to have them validate your business idea - can you get customers or suppliers to actually sign up to whatever you build? Easiest way to do this is to call potential customers - unfortunately, most businesses are closed on the weekends, so that takes some of the fun out. Another thing I noticed is that the teams were extremely fluid - so if you feel left out or marginalized on your current team, it seemed to be more than ok to join another group - the whole idea is probably more to meet people and play startup than to actually come out with a fundable team, tech demo, and business model in 48 hours.
