Are you looking to go to a college/university? Maybe decide on a school that already has a team.
It takes at least six months to start a team. You'd have to start looking for sponsorship and have that fee secured by the time team registration ends in fall. You'd need a space to work, a high school to team up with, tools, and that's just the beginning!
www.usfirst.org would have more information. However, when starting college, joining up with a team that already exists may be a little more promising when it comes to the ever-so-important issue of keeping your grades up.
