So why, I ask, would Dean Kamen and the other designers create a game based on sports, in an interview from The New Cool Kamen states that the amount of idolism of sports was a driving factor in the creation of FIRST. Additionally, why would he have games that were similar to previous games, which allow veteran teams to have small advantages for their knowledge of the elements. the goal is to create a game which requires a design challenge.

While your statements make sense, if you look at any FIRST game within the last, oh, 7 to 8 years for example, you'll see a lot of repeated ideas and rules. If you look even further, you'll see things that were used in the 90's that have been used in recent games. FIRST has found the formula for a successful game, and now they are just mixing previous inputs to get the same successful outputs.
I hope this makes sense. If it doesn't I can try to explain it better.
