Here's an idea:

For some part of the event, say.. practice day? or lunch break? or even within the hotel you stay at..

Organize a FIRST chess place. Anyone who wants to play, come play. Only rule? No playing teamates, play other teams. I think that it would be a great place to meet people with common interests in something other than robotics. (Saying 'hey you like robotics too!' at a FIRST event is quite redundant.. but chess, thats new.)

I know I'd play!

Now, I said 'don't play teamates' because where's the fun in that? Someone brings in 15 chess boards and it's all teamates? Get a board and play in your hotel room, take some time to get to know people.
