I haven't looked at the requirements but if your looking to start a FTC team, then I don't think you need an engineer. Our mentor isn't an engineer, she's about 23 years old and she has had no engineering training and we did fine in our competition.

I know FRC and FTC are big differences so I can't compare, so maybe you will need an engineer, but for a FTC team I suggest $2,000~$1750 including the registration fee.
