Re: Starting a frc team

Since you are starting a team you should try to get in touch with local teams to help you get a running start. This year my team is getting help from 5012 and 399. Last year my team built most of our first robot in team 399's shop since they had way more tools and space then the classroom my team had to work back at my team's school.

With the mentors, you should try to get as many as possible, especially ones with past experiences with FRC. There is no real limit on the number of mentors that can be on a team. The only draw back for having a lot of mentors is some teams may accuse you of having a mentor built robot if your robot is better then theirs. If you end up not being able to find any mentors you could always try to recruiting adult's at your school. My team's head mentor(and only mentor who shows up) is the IT guy at my school.
