Mr Thompson is correct in saying that the first thing would be to try and get the school to change thier minds about ending the team.
If that is not possible, the students who want to could go on their own and become some sort of independent association. This is basically what some multi-school teams are. They would probably not be able to use their school name. Instead they could become the Crescent City Robotics Association or something like that. I belive there are teams that have done something like this in the past, at least for a year or two.
I met a team at Nationals a few years ago with four or five students that was completely self funded. They wanted to participate and the school wouldn't sponsor them. So they got permission from their parents, raised the funds they needed through odd jobs and built a robot in one kid's basement. They even drove themselves down to Florida from New England.
But since as a I recall they were all seniors, the team didn't have much longevity.
So it is possible, though it takes a lot of work to make it sustainable.
