1) while it is very nice looking an ingenious the modification of the FIRST logo violates the FIRST logo/brand style guide.

2) The logo / title implies it came from FIRST. The official way around it goes like

that is why we have to do

Fixing your name looks easy. Fixing the logo is harder because it is so cool. You could send a request to marketing@usfirst.org and ask for a ruling.
I have sent an email to FIRST asking them about the logo.

Also, I have talked to our lead developer, and he says that we hope to eventually be able to re-index once per week.

Same here, no result for 1640. Enter "1640 robot" into google, we are entries 3,4,5. Sab-bot-age pulls nothing about us here, Google gives a link to TBA. "Sab-bot-age robot" in Google returns a full page of links to us, or stories about us.
Your webpage, http://team1640.com/, results in infinite re-directs. Our indexer skips pages that it can't load. If you talk to your webmasters about getting that fixed, our indexer will include your team next time it is run.

Thanks for the feedback.
