I am mentoring our FLL team so I am disappointed that he don't want to be in the FLL.
Your brother will either decide to participate, or decide to sit out.

Give him advice, but don't force him. Mentoring is different from commanding.

Let him decide, and let him accept the consequences of his decision.

Starting a VRC or FTC team might be a good 3rd option
