I am also planning to start a new team. But I place heavy emphasis on the word, "Planning".

I'll be graduating from college in August. That means that I'll be a very new employee during the 2004 FIRST competition. So, for next year I'm planning to do the Team 000 thing and vollunteer at one or two regionals and nats. Then I will spend 2005 putting the team support structure together. Hopefully I will be able to get the high school and sponsorship tasks taken care of in time for the '05 kickoff. We'll see.

I expect that like most projects, this one will take much more time than I initially estimate. As long as I get a team started in the next five years, I'll consider it a success. But it may turn out that I run into an existing team in need of engineering support before then.
