It's not uncommon for mechanical teams to have workshops over the summer to help everyone learn, why cant the animation team have that opportunity. If your pursuit is education, let nothing stand in your way.

But there is a big difference in using the licenses to start a course at a school and using the licenses to teach a few kids that are on the robotics team with the computers coincidentally being at the school. The first one is against the Autodesk terms.
On the FAQ of FIRSTbase the following written:
Quote:
Can I use this software for my school classroom or for another use besides FIRST?
The granted software is intended for support of FRC team efforts only is not licensed for schools to use in classrooms or labs. If the Autodesk software is used in a manner in which it was not intended, the user’s license may be de-activated and further actions may be taken.

Rules are there for a reason. And although we may not agree on all of them all of the time, we still have to follow them.
