They don't own
all usage, but in the context of competitive robotics in jurisdictions where
the trademark "FIRST" is registered, they have a strong claim to it.
Since the original post appears to be advertising this service to the FIRST community in the United States, the possibility of confusion exists, for example with
this. In principle, that could lead to a trademark infringement suit or other unpleasant outcomes.
