Where to start?

Last night I was online, reading about, and found a thread on my fav board (macnn) about FIRST.

Sooooo where do I start? I know I have two choices, join a team or make my own (number 2 might have to happen )

ANYWAY, where shall I start? I'll be in las vegas in november, so that's where I'm looking for teams, anyone got hints?

I looked at first's (usfirst.org)'s site, found 1 school's team that sounds promising (I might actually go to that school lol.), and etc, but what is there to find out, what do I need to do?

I know it's also like what.. they started the sign-ups for this in september, but will FIRST have the heart to let me in this year?

all I know is i'm excited, and can hardly wait, and here's why:

For years I've been on the nerd side, etc, I've been a comp haxie for 5 years (taught myself everything), and looooove mechanics, planning to be an electrical engineer. When I found out, bingo, something I actually like

So anyway, maybe I don't make sense, i just want to know where to start.

Well you're off to a good start doing your homework and researching. If you're pretty sure that you're going to that certain school with team potential, I would try to get in contact with their team leader or advisor and get involved early.

Its awesome that you have all this enthusiasm but its probably easier to join a team and learn the ropes than forming your own team now. Plus, unless you're a senior, you still have time!

More fun: I think (70% sure to be exact) that clark county is a closed district.

Which means I won't be going to a school where they have a team.

Even stranger, the one I was considering is part of a group, which means, well, lol, that they probably do other things (Science group?!)

And there's no page for this year, no info, etc, so I have my doubts :'(

*shrug* I guess I'll be starting my own team, anyone in the las vegas area, please let me know if you're interested!!!
