I'm pretty sure they had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the splash page. They just deliver the content to your browser faster than FIRST's servers could.
Akamai sponsored some teams attending the Boston Regional a few years ago. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to give the company leadership a tour.
They were very engaging folks and amazed at what was happening at the event, especially in the pits.

ps. I do kinda miss the photo of the president on the home page. It is a great photo.
