Not exactly.
October 2010 Obama invited HOF team FRC 341 Miss Daisy.
The next invitation was for February 7, 2012. It should have had 842 and 359 but it didn't work out for them. I don't know if it was because of a decision at FIRST or at the White House. The White House has the final word on the selection of who is coming, so it wasn't necessarily the fault of anyone at FIRST.
Other FRC representation was there including 111 on the basis that they had won the previous robotics competition, not an earlier HOF CCA.
There was no White House event in 2011.
