Re: age requirements for FRC?
From my understanding, the upper age limits in FIRST competitions are set while the lower ones are more flexible. They are:

JFLL: 6-9
FLL: 9-16 (Or 9-14 in the US and Canada)
FTC: 14-18 (senior)
FRC: 14-18 (senior)

This isn't to say you can't have younger students. I was very involved on my FRC team in 8th grade. Because our school year is off by 6 months in Australia, we recruit kids in 8th grade and up.
