Having taken the same types of classes in the last few years I agree the general rule is that you should omit anything from high school. However FRC differs significantly from other clubs. The skills you learned in FRC if they are relevant to your field should be included on your resume until you have more significant experience to replace it with.

It is important how you include it one your resume. If you are an engineering student then don't just list that you were on the team. You need to list specific responsibilities and skills that are applicable to the positions you are applying for. If you have significant Research and/or Co-op or internship positions that more directly relate to your current job search then FRC should be minimized in your resume.

When you get advice to remove HS clubs and honors from your resume they are right, a recruiter or hiring manager doesn't care if you were a member of a club, however they will care what skills you developed as a member if they are applicable to the position they are hiring for.
