Just a quick word of warning; remember that FIRST's goal is not to teach, but inspire. While they are often intertwined, they aren't the same thing.
I'll reiterate that adding another school to the mix will help relieve some stress on the faculty and mentors. Don has good advice as well. Starting a new team with new mentors won't fix this; it may be another 8 seasons, it may be next season, but mentor burnout is a team killer that needs to be handled now.
It sounds like you've gotten something out of your FIRST experience, even if you are frustrated now. If this is the case, you owe it to your team, your mentors, FIRST, and yourself to help your current team rather than just abandoning it.
