According to my dad this is about 30 min from Fermilab for those of you who know particle smashing (Fermilab being farther to the west). The two main questions are

1. Is there any team that would be willing to help a rookie team even starts its existence?(a thread already has a list but i dont know exact locations(relative to lombard)
2. Anyone familiar with the area do you have an idea of where I could get a sponsor?
3. Simular to sponsor... does anyone know where i can get mentors?

Wildstang is about a half an hour away from Lombard, you might want to try contacting them. Also team 9 is about 30 mins away. According to the FIRST website, they are both willing to mentor rookie teams. Good luck with your new team.
