If an author wants their name attached to the piece, they can put it in. I'm just giving the logic behind defaulting to anonymity. I would think you could draw credibility from the fact that it's being published on here. I know Foss, he won't publish something that isn't adequately researched or an opinion by someone who he trusts.
The main reason the Robot posts appear to be written with the team is simply because they ARE. If you're interested in publishing a Robot Profile for your team's robot (historical or current) feel free to ping Foss or I and we'll get you the questions (for consistency reasons there's a ROUGH format) same with the People Profiles (Obviously, it helps if you're a known name for that one.)
Personally, I'd love to see Zach Orr do a profile...
