The FIRST website has some very good papers on how and who to contact. Look in the resources section.

As far as starting a team, there is most likely a machine shop nearby. They may be willing to help your team. Machine shops generally need employees that have some previous training and what better way than to grow your own!

Aside from the money aspect, a team can be started in very little time. My team, the Who'sCTEK's, registered at the kickoff in January 2001 and were able to compete that season with a very simple robot. This is not recommended but it shows what can be done if you put your mind to it.

Good Luck!
