Re: Where to find mentors.

Scope out local colleges/universities. No doubt there will be interested students, if not FIRST alumni. Ask the schools if you can do a demo, that will for sure attract attention! Also as previously mentioned look for retired or currently working engineers at local companies! When going out looking for sponsors make sure on your sponsorship package that you as also looking for mentors. Ive seen many companies that will sponsor the team and send a few employees to help mentor (like my first year we were sponsored by an engineering firm and they sent an electrical and programming mentor to help us out!) Best of luck!
