I'm going to give you three pointers. One will be immediately useful. Another will require you to do some work finding specific helpful resources. The final one is more of a meta-resource, potentially able to assist you with locating assistance.
First: the
http://www.frcmastery.com/ web site. If you're going to be using LabVIEW to program an FRC robot, this is a great place to learn how to do it.
Second: there are a dozen other FRC teams in Washington, DC. Seek them out and see if you can get some mentoring.
Finally:
http://www.usfirst.org/regionalcontact.aspx can tell you how to contact your regional director, who should be able to listen to your needs and provide you with other contacts to help meet them.
