Because of how the spikes for "FIRST robotics" and "FRC/FIRST Robotics Competition" seem to be timed exactly the same I'd guess FRC people are using "FIRST robotics" more than FLL/FTC people as short hand for "FIRST Robotics Competition" but as "FRC" is more recognizable nowadays on it's own newer FRC participants are using that more often.
Interesting theory, here are the results

FTC is super high, while FLL still has more reach than FRC (not suprising)

FTC is also an acronym for Federal Trade Commission, which skews the result a lot.

It also seems like the most interest comes from people searching FIRST Robotics Competition, not FRC.

It also seems FRC search terms are messed with because of a Argentinian University.



While "FIRST Lego Leauge" All it's top search terms are actually related to the metric we are using.
