The only thing is, Twitch has "FRC: Recycle Rush" as an option in their "what game are you playing" menu when you setup the stream, so unless those categories are submitted by the community and not reviewed by anyone, Twitch should be ok with FIRST competitions being streamed.
The real problem is that the "non-gaming content" flags are submitted by users, not twitch admins, if you get enough flags you get banned automatically for 24 hours and the appeal system is too slow to be of any use.
Our first event this year was streaming to Twitch and got banned in the middle of Friday competitions. We switched over to Hitbox.tv (basically a twitch clone with fewer restrictions) and had no issues aside from having to refresh the stream every few hours due to length limitations.
