Recently I committed to Embry Riddle Daytona Beach and sadly there are no local FRC teams that I know of. I started team 5107 last year which hooked me on FRC and I am not ready to give it up. I have stirred up some interest of starting an FRC team at the local high school, Mainland High school, in three or four other FIRST alumni that will be attending next year. I would love to mentor and continue to be involved in FIRST and maybe get that trip to the arch that I have been working for. What I need help doing and why I am here is trying to get a feel for the area by someone who knows it better then I (California Kid). Is there a desire for a team? Has someone tried this before and failed? Do you think the university would be willing to sponsor the team? I know this is kind of a long shot but starting a team with zero knowledge of the area in August will be tough so I am trying to get a head start.
