I certainly say you should keep it on there... perhaps it would move down to a smaller role (background & interests... worst case), but I would definitely keep it on there.

If you've been involved with mentoring since highschool, I would definitely put that on there.

Really, I'd recommend looking at your resume through the lens of "what things make me an eligible candidate?" If you were quite involved in FRC in highschool, odds are good that'll play a very big role on your resume until you've had at least a couple different technical jobs. If you were barely a member of a team and it had little impact on you, perhaps only mention it in one line... Really, I'm saying it's somewhat situation-dependent... but don't underestimate the value of FIRST on your resume!
