Re: Other names for FIRSTers
Well, I am the president of FIRST Freaks, Inc. (I so have to do something with that name), and then there's the Holy Order of FIRSTism (and I'd rather not get into that at the moment) of which I am High Priest.
Slightly more on topic, I've always used the term FIRSTer to describe FIRST kids (I mean, it's so gorram simple). However, the term FIRST-a-holic is out there (hi, my name is Eddie, and I'm a FIRST-a-holic). I've also been known to use various plays on the word robot (roboteer, the aforementioned roboticist). But what's simple (in this case, FIRSTer) will always roll off the tongue more often.
Last question: no, I have never heard the term Kamenite. However, I have heard of putting -ite at the end of other people's names, so it wouldn't surprise me if some people actually used the term (Neunites, anyone?).
Finally: wow, I can use a sci-fi reference to bypass the language filter.
