If someone really wanted to, a community team could be started in SB/Goleta. It could be made open to all high school age students from any school in the area (even home schooled). Of course, the team would need to find a build space, get sponsors on-board, recruit students and register with FIRST. The team can apply for 501(c)(3) status, which makes donations to the team tax deductible. It's all doable in time for the 2016 season.
