Hi Chris,
Ok, to get going you're going to want to access
TIMS, the Team Information Management System. This will get you in as a registered team. Past there what you'll want to do is solicit community support. Any big businesses in the area? Talk to them to see if they're willing to front the money to support your team. You may find the creation of sponsorship levels (
pg 1,
pg 2) helpful in encouraging sponsorship at higher levels. Explain to them what the program is, what benefits they will recieve from sponsorship and talk about other sponsors of FIRST, see and explore
this link. Also, you'll want to be sure to keep a close eye on
deadlines. Past that, feel free to
email me with any questions that you may have, I went through this last year and we also started relatively late in the season.
