Also, what sort of projects are you looking for? The examples you have are very robot-code specific projects. Do you want people to submit only robot-specific projects?

I have created an organization on github, I'll talk to Mr. Rees about getting the post up top edited to reflect this.
We are open to all projects that benefit FIRST. They can be robot code, or a scouting database, or whatever. Over here at 340, we're working on a FIRST-optimized image for the Raspberry Pi, not exactly robot, however it still benefits FIRST as a whole.

For you, there's no duty to do so (because it's not your trademark) and your noninfringing use of it is irrelevant. If you still want to tell the world that "FIRST" is a registered trademark of FIRST, then feel free to do so—but use your judgment as to how many repetitions are beneficial before it starts detracting from your stylistic efforts.
Now, back to your regularly-scheduled coding....

Thank you for clearing this up! I've been a bit confused over whether or not to use the Registered Trademark symbol, and you cleared it up for me. Much appreciated.

Thanks, that means a lot!
In other news, I am working on securing much cooler prizes for teams, for instance Arduinos and Raspberry Pis for participants, in addition to T-shirts. If you're any sort of geek, this makes it even more incentive to participate!
