Foothill FRC Team

I'm a member of VRC team 1000 from Foothill High School. Last year was the first time we had really done robotics and we had a pretty small team, only about 6 people. This year though we have around 28 and we want to try to start an FRC team. With VRC we had no mentors, it was all student-run and we didn't really have to go out of our way that much to find sponsorships etc. from foundations and companies. From what I've seen around the forums so far I guess that around $12,000 should be the target for one regional. I was just wondering how to approach companies about being an FRC sponsor, getting mentors etc., and if it's realistic to start a team now. Also, around how much is the typical time commitment during the build period for our team.

Thanks
