Re: New rookie team

Would it be terrible to say there is no "I" in "TEAM"?

I think you have a really good idea here for giving yourself an engineering challenge and working towards promoting STEM and FIRST, however, you have acknowledged on numerous posts that you are the only student on the team. It sounds like this is a great idea for a local STEM non-profit organization, but not for an official FIRST team. You can't do it all on your own, and while it sounds like you have found some support with sponsorship and community interest, it is important that you are clear on your business plan and what you intend to accomplish. As much as we all love FIRST, it is possible that the competition format of the program is just not the correct venue for what you had in mind.
