**CORRECTION**
One of the original team members in 2002 or 2003 decided that "our team will be the best, the top, the Paragon of US First Robotics"
(It is now just FIRST but had started with the name US FIRST).
The other members decided that they liked his description of being the Paragon of the FIRST engineering world so the name stuck.
Sorry for the mis-information!
