Having celebrities and stars endorsing FIRST will shows that people who doesn't do science and technology as a living approve of FIRST. The stars could serve as Ambassadors introducing us to the rest of the world.

Well said!

On the other hand, I believe the ideal Spokes person would be a celebrity who participated in FIRST earlier in life. Now there may not be such a person right now (the program is young), but I think it is quite possible we could see a celebrity from the FIRST generation.

ALAN ALDA!

Yeah I believe I was watching scientific america a few nights ago. I saw the weirdest robotics competition. It looked like the robots were playing on a giant teter toter. I believe it was MIT's competition. It sure was fun trying to figure out what the robots were doing.
