FRC 3610 would like some help

[TheImmortalJ1]

Hello everyone!
This is Juan from team 3610 Islanders from Minnesota and I want to talk about where to start. Our team has been struggling for the past three years after our student veterans left. Others and myself have been struggling for a long time on how to program, build sponsors, etc since we have been teaching ourselves along the way. Questions I have is how do you get mentors? How do promote your team? How do you teach others? Should we start sessions at the summer? How do we buy tools and other equipment for our team at a low budget? How does sponsorship work? How do you organize a team and filter people into the things they want to do? Sorry for the numerous questions but I'm hoping that our team can step up soon next year! Thank you so much!
