Just want to know what you think... Do you want to be famous in FIRST? Why or why not? Do you think there are any prices you have you pay for being famous? Maybe some day you will wish to go to a competition without being recognized and just walk around the pit area quietly looking at robots?
All I know is there's no turning back after you've turned famous, nothing short of quitting this wonderful community can get rid of all the attention ;-).
Maybe fame isn't the best thing you can get from this program ;-).
Your thoughts?

I dont think its Fame, I think its more along the lines of the Recognition,
in today's society the bad is always emphisized, in the news reports on TV, on the front page of every paper, but with FIRST, individuals are Recognized for their oustanding efforts in somthing that is Good, i think that its not wrong to hold Dave Lavery or Andy Baker or even That FIRST legend himself, Tom Schindler at a higher level than anyone else, They are Doing Good, they are the ones you find in the little box, on the last page of almost every newspaper.
Just as long as people dont go obsessing over me everything will be okay
and if i ever see I am Mike Schroeder written on peoples backpacks i will probobly freak out and go hide under a table and cry
