I am a returning teammate from last year. I am not in the highschool anymore, but I am a freshman in college and I help out the team with it's programming. I was wondering if it is strictly illegal for me to be a driver on the team since I am no longer a student at the team's highschool.

Nope. From the Game section of the manual--"DRIVER: a pre-college student team member responsible for operating and controlling the
ROBOT. There are two DRIVERS per TEAM"
