In 2012, as a first-year teacher, I started FRC Team 4144 in Inglewood, California (note: I do not recommend starting a FIRST team during your first-year teaching in a high-needs school). After three years, I'm leaving teaching to go to grad school in the area at Caltech. There is a core of dedicated students, administration is supportive, and we have basic facilities. There are also two other teachers who have signed on to take over the faculty side of things. However, I was the primary technical mentor, and it would be nice if we could find some more mentors.

While our greatest need is for controls (both software and hardware) help, we could also use mechanical and business/chairman's mentors. I will still be around to a limited extent, but I obviously won't be able to be there 3-5 times a week like I was before during build season.
