Not all FVC and FRC teams work out of their schools, some work out of their sponsors facilities. Also, while team members must be high school age, there is nothing prohibiting non-school affiliated teams. Scouting groups, Boys & Girls Clubs, or community groups are encouraged to start FVC teams where they meet.
Also, for you and your friends to compete, this isn't an official FVC event and its not Canadian, but try looking into the Trinity Fire Fighting Robot Competition
here. They have both college level and open to all categories. The latest copy of Robot magazine had a nice article and there were a few photos of Vex based bots.
Thanks for considering mentoring an FVC team. It takes a special person to volunteer to work with students.
