I think this could be a show stopper for your idea. There are approximately 1000 teams? most members are HS students. How many HS students buy magazines related to HS activities (sports, clubs....).
FIRST is a very specialized community, and to make it even more difficult for you all the "news" comes primarilly from one source: FIRST itself.
I think FIRST could publish a quartly newsletter - that might fly.
But a supermarket rack magizine for FIRST? Thats going to be a tough sell (primarilly due to the demographics).
To get a broader appeal you would have to hit hobby and educational robotics in a wider scope - take in the smash em up competitions, stuff like the DARPA challenge last year. FIRST would be a part of that scope, instead of being the whole pie.
