This is a holdover from competitive sports in UIL and probably will not see change.
For instance if this extended to football, I could open up "Johns private school for football" and recruit (things normal high schools cannot do) the best players in the state. Then I could basically "rent" them out to UIL schools so they could win games and championships. They would still be UIL since some of the team are UIL sponsored.
Its possible UIL makes exceptions for robots, but I doubt its the case. Its probably going to end up being more strict if anything and only allow students from 1 high school, killing conglomerate teams.
