Is there a minimum age requirement for any position? I only see "pre-college" as far as age restrictions.

Nope.

The Coach May either be an Adult or Student.

Also- just so that nobody tries to steer this simple question in the wrong direction- debates about coach age has been discussed many times over- http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=adult+coac h

As long as the drivers are registered members on the team, there is no minimum age restriction.

What if you're not a student, but not an adult either? :)

I remember reading somewhere that FIRST drivers could be no older than 18 or something. Pre-full time college student, so someone can be a driver still even if they're taking a college class or two. If you have questions, ask FIRST and they'll be nice and clarify things; I had to do this in FTC.

But the coach can be any age! There is hope for me yet!

There was a team based out of a middle school back in '07. I'd be surprised if they required the drivers to be in high school.

Under the current FRC rules, you could have a toddler drive the robot. However, at some point, common sense has to kick in.
