Yes. You risk failing inspection, because they're arguably illegal. (What is "similar"?)

It's at least plausible that FIRST had a technical reason for mandating the higher-current connectors—maybe they were especially (perhaps inordinately) concerned about durability, for example.

And even if it's just a mistake on FIRST's part, ask about it in the Q&A forum before deciding to use the 15 A versions.
