Re: Starting 20 new teams this year. Need help.

Mentors are always the toughest part of the equation:
As Greg said, you can often find mentors in places you don't think to look first.
In my experience, many of the best mentors come from similar backgrounds....many of the best FRC mentor I know were once farmers or participated in some sort of motorsports.
I did both, and so did one of my other team leaders.
FRC requires a good combination of using your head and using your hands. It seems like there would be many good candidates in Texas.
