Defunct FIRST Teams
 

Hi,

Because no one will step up to be a leader, our school can not have a First team, but, we do have a robotics class. I am looking to buy robotic parts from defunct FIRST teams. Do you have any contact info. for teams that have gone by the wayside? Thanks in advance for any leads you can generate.

This past year, we started a team for students who were homeschooled or whos schools teams couldn't support themselves, or cant start a team in Georgia.
You could try and se if you could find some kids like you and start your own team. It is an arduous ask to say the least. PM me if you want to know more.

If you school system allows, it can be run by a parent association. That helped us bridge the gap between teachers.
If your engineers are in place, see if a parent association can take on all the hard stuff.
It is a lot of work, but it can be done. Don't burden your engineers with it helping to run the team. Find a few parents to do share the load.
PM me if I can help.

Okay so spill it, which school? Granite Bay? Davis? Jesuit? Once I know this perhaps we can talk some more about some options and resources for you and your team.
