how is it difficult is your only 14?
run it past your parents and if they say yes, post ads everywhere around your city/online
and wait for some responses...

I live in ENgalnd so what do you mean it doesn't work like that in London. That's how I would go about it, no offence.

not really... get a few other guys who are into robotics...
make them send a photo and chat for a while so you can see they wont try to kill you
then have them over to your house...
it is better if they're around your age group but adults are good too because they generally have
a fair bit more knowledge.

then get people interested!
most people are happy to learn a new thing but have no idea where to start.
ask around your local school and see if anyone would be interested in learning about robotics.

I'm 13 and i'm setting up a robotics club in my school to start next year but i'm getting funding from the headteacher and i've got a system control teacher assisting me so i'm alright. If your new school hasn't got one, try and set one up.
