FANTASY Deck of cards

That is such a COOL idea!

OK, now let's hear YOUR fantasy deck setup...

Assume for a sec you could get ANYONE's (or ANYTHING's) picture and/or signature. If YOU were to make up a deck, who/what should it include, and on which cards?

IMHO, the Aces might be:
Dean Kamen, Dr. Woody Flowers, Dave Lavery, and Director Bob Hammond. (IYO, is there anyone else more deserving, that I'm simply forgetting about?)

But then, WHO or WHAT do you honor after that?
Some candidate categories OTTOMH, for discussion:
- Top FIRST office people (those 12 or so very hard workers that make this possible for us)
- "CD Famous" folk
- Regional/Nat winning robots
- "Top Team" team photos (for whatever reason)
- Hall of Fame people (lifetime achievement)
- Chairman's Award winners (Team photos)
- Infamous Robots (by performance)
- Unusual Robots (by design - walkers, transformers, etc.)

What else? (Some people/groups/things may fall into multiple categories above)

Questions:
- Should the face cards be reserved for people and the number cards all be robots?
- Should there be a mix, with each suit a "category"?

So... Let's hear it. How would YOUR deck be set up, and who or what would be assigned to each card? (I'm just curious. There's no "right or wrong" here, so please don't criticize other's choices.)
