We started our fist year without a mentor. After three weeks of going it alone, we paired up with another team that met 30 minutes away. They were gracious enough to allow us to use there build site, access to their mentors and ever made parts for us. The biggest thing I learned during those few weeks was how a good FIRST FRC team is run. There has to be at least one team in your area that would be willing to help you out. It was mentioned before: check with your regional director. Also, check TIMS. They don't have the "Are you willing to mentor a team?" question for nothing! If you don't get any takers in Texas, drop me a line and i'll help you out in any way I can.
