in fact, since FIRST is an educational program, they might even encourage teams to manufacture their own SyncDrive transmissions.

While you could still make them, you would be in violation of their patent. A patent prevents you from using the design whether it's for non-commerical or even personal use. If you'd want to use it you'd have to talk directly to the company to ask for permission.
