-There is a local high school that not only has a technology magnet, but also a business section, in addition to funding from multiple private companies/people, and the administration has also expressed its interest to get involved.
-Finally i am close (relatively) to my old team (312), in addition to teams 147 and 79, all of which may provide a source of experience and expertise.

all of these factors seem to provide an ideal enviroment for building a team.
They might... and if you have a lot of help, it's not nearly as bad... but just trust us. Especially if you plan on being very involved, it's not going to pan out. You'll be stressed out, and it's a lot of work.

If you've got everything you need, why not consider freelanceFIRST-ing for your freshman year, getting references and things together for next year, and basically still be in FIRST but wait to start your own team?

It's a lot of responsibility, more than you'll ever imagine. But I'm not going to lie, the feeling you get from it is like nothing else you'll ever experience, it's this feeling of "I did it!". Just make sure you can handle it before you go in too deep.
