People on here who tend to say "go for it!" and "wow great idea!" typically have not started their own teams before or have never ran one (successful one at least). That's a blanket statement I'm willing to make, sure.

Please know that starting and running a team is an extremely challenging thing to do as an adult, so I'm concerned you want to start a team for no real reason. Starting a mediocre or terrible team is easier, but ask yourself if that's really what you want. I only know of less than a handful of high school students who brought a new and successful FRC team to life on their own.

So, I have to ask; why?
First of all, I had a conflict with one of the main mentors of my last team for the past three seasons... This helped me to quit the team... I didn't want to join another existing team because it seemed like an act of treason toward my friends... So, instead, I decided to give myself a challenge : create my own team. But I wanted to do different from other teams. So I'm the only student on the team, I'm not affiliated to any school and I do everything I can to promote FIRST.

That's why...
