the robot was just on in the storage wars episode. It took place in boston as previously guessed. I couldnt identify whose it was still for sure, but it was a 6-wheel drive, and the camera was a 2011 one. two other robots that weren't FRC were inside as well; i couldn't identify them. Whole thing went for 1800 dollars.
As for FIRST recognition, absolutely nothing. One of the main characters in the show said (paraphrasing) she knew about it, and "its some robot MIT makes every year. " not quite.
Oh well, still cool
EDIT: Eric you sure it was 4? im pretty sure i saw chain and 6 wheels.
