If they call poker a sport, than robotics is most definitely a sport

sport(noun) 1. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. 2. An active pastime; recreation.

Physical Extertion (fixing robots, running around scouting, etc) - Check
Skill (Driver skill, designing skill, etc) - Check
Governed by a set of rules or customs - Check
Often undertaken competitively - Check
An active pastime; recreation - Definitely!
