Other names for FIRSTers
I've heard the term "FIRSTers" used for years, but a few months ago I was talking about my involvement and the person I was talking to said "Oh, youre a Kamenite...thats cool."

Huh wha?

So, it got me thinking about the actual terminology for "the FIRST community: students, mentors, staff and volunteers". Is there an official term, or is "FIRSTer" just generally accepted? Does anyone actually use "roboteer" (a term given by Disney in 02)?

Has anyone else heard "Kamenite" before? Does "Kamenite" even translate well into the FIRST community, or is it a subsection of a broader community?

I've got a lot of questions, and I'm sure someone's got an opinion on them.
