The Georgia Robotics Alliance (team 1848) was created for just this purpose. It is directly supported through Wheeler High School (the CircuitRunners team 1002), and Georgia Tech Student mentorship is shared between both teams. GRA was designed to allow home schooled students and students from schools that do not yet have FIRST teams to be part of the FIRST experience in an active role that would sometimes not be afforded to them when working with another established team.(...unless you get an offer to do that. In that case, it is up to you)

There are training sessions each fall run by the Georgia Tech students that run through topics from programming to gearboxes. The support for this team from The Wheeler High School mentors and students as well as Georgia Tech students should make it a rewarding experience for you.

If you're interested I can get you in contact with the right people to join up.

Also feel free to drop by the Championship Event (free at the Georgia Dome, April 27-29th) and find us at our pit. We can talk more there.
