If you're willing to travel a tiny bit, there are other teams around you: http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rch_teams_form

I'm sure they'd be more than happy to let a driven and inspired student from a dying team join them. One of my good friends travels an hour both ways to be on his team because FRC is worth it to him. If it's worth it to you, then you can bet your bot you'll be on a team this year.
