I hope you didn't lie to too many people.

I don't see how making a costume instantly shows someone is inspired.

Inspiration-
the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.

Think of this game without the decals without the castle tops and without the interestingly named defenses. I think it would still be just as fun and less off putting to the average high school student.

The game would be confusing without the theme. The theme tied it all together.
As for your 'average high school student' comment... I find 2 key issues.
1) Not every 'average high school student' connects to sports
2) This program is full of students I would say stray from the 'average' high school student in A LOT of ways.
While I like sports games too, FIRST has done A LOT of sports themed games. Its cool to stray from the norm. I think a majority of the people in the program took the theme well.
Besides, its better than Recycling.
