As others have said, SCRUM is not an acronym.
What SCRUM is, is a structured periodic (daily) meeting to assess issues and find iterative improvements. This structure includes most stakeholders and people have defined roles for this meeting (customer advocate, Technical team, SCRUM master, etc.)
SCRUM is part of the Agile development cycle. The Agile development cycle is a development process whereby unaccounted for issues are expected to happen and that structured iterative releases (think software revisions) can be applied to correct for these issues.
Agile fits into the LEAN (Toyota model) development process at gates 2 and 3 (and sometimes 4).
SCRUM (and Agile/LEAN) could be applied to FRC, but would have to be setup prior to a season, as the development cycle is very short.
