With that definition, you could also say playing video games is a "sport", which it most definately is not.
Golf is refered to as "The game of golf" for a reason.
Auto racing, motocross, etc best fits as a competition

Competition is a much more generalized term, and thats why I believe FIRST is not a sport, it never was, and it never will be a sport.
Plus, FIRST calls this, The FIRST Robotics
Competition.
Just my 2 cents.
