All this considered, it seems that you'd be well advised to ask FIRST's permission. It is a take on their logo, and if you're using it for a FIRST-related club, there's a fair chance that someone, especially young children which are your targeted audience, might confuse your use with affiliation, presumably failing "fair use."
WOW! I bet you had fun with the game rules this year.
