Re: Looking to start a team in Syracuse

I assume your going to SU?

Try to get them to offically sponsor a team. Press it as a recruitment drive. These are excited students in high school who want to go into engineering. Better still, if you have a program they will want to go there. Every year now, Clarkson gets over a dozen FIRSTers. Partially because of the scholarships that are offered but mostly cause they want to continue in FIRST!

If you can get money for the kit and passionate people then the rest is detail work. Talk with Kim O'Toole with 1511 Rolling Thunder. She started Division by Zero as a lowly freshman and when she graduated started 1511. I'd consider her the resident expert on starting a team.
