You just did.
You don't deserve an apology. You're a victim of circumstance and you'll just need to learn to deal with that.
What's particularly disheartening is to see that you're a college student -- someone who should be setting an example to their students by acting and reacting with professionalism and respect. Your job is to provide your students with the same amazing experience that you probably experienced while you were in high school. This isn't about you or your robot. It's about your students.
You're complaining about something that's so far removed from being even remotely important that you sound childish. Being picked by an alliance is an honor, not a privilege, and it's not even terribly important. Your emphasis on this -- and worse, your emphasis on receiving an apology
for this is as good an example as any of all the perceived problems with gracious professionalism you listed previously.
You didn't get an apology at Philadelphia and you're not going to get one here, or from FIRST. Step outside the situation and re-examine what is really important. Was your students' experience any less valuable because of this error? Was it a waste of your time?
I hope not.
