From the FIRST website, under "How to start a team"

There is no typical or FIRST mandated team structure. FIRST does require each team to assign adults to the official team roles of Main, Alternate and Shipping Contact – other than that, you are free to structure your team as best suits you! Most teams comprise 25 students (there is no maximum) and can be made up of one or more high schools or youth organization(s). We also have home-schooled teams that compete.

So FIRST allows membership by organizations other than schools. However - from last year's robot rules
Quote:
|
<R14> ROBOTS shall display their school name, and primary sponsor name and/or logo whenever the ROBOT is on the field (including practice sessions).
|
So if you don't have a school, what do you put on the robot? The school name is a required item on the inspection checklist. Also, if you have one student on the Downtown team from Crosstown high school, do you have to include Crosstown's name as well?
