I would at the very least give FIRST Robotics a single line so someone glancing at your resume can ask you about it, especially if you were very involved in it (I would equate it to how it is beneficial for Eagle Scouts to list that award on their resumes, even though that happened in high school).
The only things I had from high school on my college resume were my Eagle Scout rank and FIRST experience, and I talked quite a bit about both of them during subsequent interviews. One of the managers I interviewed with did FIRST back in '94! There are very few things from HS that matter in college, but FIRST and Eagle/Gold are definitely in that small club.
