The controllers for FIRST are analog. PS controllers are digital.... it doesnt match, you will find some problems if you try it.
You cannot immediately write off using the PS controller for the robot, simply because it is digital and the controller has analog inputs. There are digital input on the controller as well, which gives that option if you can figure out how to make it work with those digital inputs. Also there is the option of producing a Digital to Analog converter. The same way that the robot converts the analog signal to digital so that it can process it, you can do the reverse and give it an analog signal from digital.

I'm sure you can find a digital to analog converter online.

Saying that something cannot be done, is always good inspiration for someone to find a way to do it.
