So FIRST allows membership by organizations other than schools. However - from last year's robot rules

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?
Just write "Hard Knocks" or "None" on it and dare anyone to be un-GP enough to complain.

Seriously, assuming a one-to-one relationship between schools and teams is a hard habit to shake, even for the folks who write and proof-read the rules.
