To go along with what Jane mentioned, I think it would be a challenge to start a team off with just lofty expectations and standards. I think creating such team take a few seasons as the team learns about FIRST. I know that my first year, I didn't really understand what FIRST was all about or how cool it was, so I probably wouldn't be willing to put all the time and effort into being part of an 'elite' team. If anything, I probably would be a little scared away by how offical and business-like it would seem. Now, however, I would love to be on a team like that, but that I after I learned how amazing FIRST is. I think the first year or two will be very challenging as you instal some of the ideals. I am very interested to see how that would go though.

To go along with some others concerns, I would wait atleast one year in college before deciding if starting a team is something that you can (or want) to do.
