[FTC]: Any tips on how to start a old FTC team back up?

[safetysid]

I'm a student from team 2959 and during the past couple of weeks some team members and I have been thinking about starting the FTC team we had a few years back that couldn't go on due to funding loss (I'm guessing student interest as well because all the students on the team were graduating to FRC). I was never apart of that team or anyone else I've talked to so we really don't know anything about it. So, I was wondering if anyone could point me to/ give advice about what FTC is all about and how to get a team back up and running? And since school is almost out and the season starts in September(?), it'd be hard to recruit students during the summer for a resurrected team so any tips about getting students excited and wanting to be on an FTC team would be awesome too!
