Re: Pre-college or high school aged?
I was a member of the drive team this year while taking classes at a four year college (I was not enrolled in the school and the classes were being used as high school credit; I am 16 years old so I'm high school aged). It was considered free and clear for me to drive in both FTC and FRC as I was taking the college classes as part of a home-schooled high school curriculum.
I'm pretty sure FIRST doesn't have rules saying X Y or Z can or cannot be "on an FRC team", and I think the "high school age" line is intended exactly for this kind of a case (if the rule was "does not have a high school diploma", I could drive every year). I would see no problem in having her on the team (maybe she's technically a "mentor" but you could treat her as a student but I'm pretty sure FIRST doesn't care). If she's enrolled in the college and intends to get a degree there, I doubt the letter of the rule would allow her on the drive team (other than coach), but the spirit would...
