We here at Georgia Tech have helped start about 15 teams in the Atlanta area, being direct mentors to 3 of them. The biggest piece of advice I would give you is to find a teacher that will be enthusiastic and supportive of the program. Without that having a team is very difficult. Contacting the teachers in charge of technology and science clubs at the schools in your area is usually a good way to start. You can contact FIRST and get promotional videos to show to interested teachers and later on students. If possible, get them to attend a competition. That usually gets anyone excited about the program but if not meet with them, show videos, do a demo with another local team. If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to contact me. Good luck!!!
