That sounds like a good idea when you're mad, but actually it will be a nightmare for you. Running away and starting your own team without first setting up sponsorships, getting mentors and team members, and finding a place to work will not only be challenging, but is a very short-sighted view of what it takes to run any team, not even a successful team.
I would caution you that, no matter how stubborn you are and no matter how much effort you put into running the team, you will have a very hard time making a robot, let alone being at all competitive. You are probably better off taking whatever sponsors, team members, mentors, etc. you found for your new team and bringing them to help your old team or any other team you want to join. If you are already registered on TIMS it might be too late to back out, but I hope not for your sake. There are other, more rewarding and accomplishable ways to challenge yourself besides starting a new team.
You have every right to reject my suggestions, and if you do (which is likely judging by your previous responses) I wish you good luck with your new team.

First of all, you guys put too much emphasis on the problem I had with the other team... Maybe I did not say it correctly but it's not that much of a big deal... I understand your point and many people told me that... But you know, I want to try it. Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I just don't know yet but I'll try until I succeed or fail. And if I fail, I wont mind. Because trying and failing makes you a better person then fleeing after the first couple obstacles.
