We are registered at our school as a competitive academic team. Makes us eligible for Letters. A club would not be. The point of the school is to educate. Not to be able to letter in an academic competition is just silly.
If your school does allow it they need to be sold on the idea STEM. Which is one of the missions of the FIRST team to begin with.
Anyway here is our letting requirements

Recommendation from the team coach
I do not have anything to with it. I am just the robot mentor.
