These tight rules would make it rather difficult to field an FRC team that is not either related to a school (or perhaps two or more schools, as is the case with 1912) or that is effectively a home-school cooperative.

Can you (or, really anyone) explain the logic in that? The last time I was sick[1] I was mostly incapacitated for over a week, first by dehydration then by the medicine making everything hazy. Under this inane policy I wouldn't be eligible to make up any work. Which, we'll ignore that even once I got back to work I was still nowhere near 100% for nearly a month.
[1] Double sinus infection, not really anything one would consider even a major illness.
