Going into interviews is a piece of cake. If you really needed to you could reference FIRST in almost any answer (however, don't do that.) If companies are curious about FIRST its really easy to take control of the interview and showcase your experience.
I recently had a 3 day interview with a company and I was jokingly referred to as the Robot Kid by the other candidates and a few recruiters. If you don't end up in Engineering like me (Marketing) it really allows you to stick out in their minds because not many others were involved in something like FIRST. I was interviewing for a market research/product development job and all the recruiters were extremely impressed with what I've gotten out of FIRST. Its really easy to relate what your dream job would be when you've been doing it for the past 5 years on your own.
