I don't know who in particular would make a great speaker for a FIRST event, but they need to be dynamic and egaging.

Judging by the fact that I fell asleep during Larry Page/Dean's speeches, I'm going to go ahead and say neither of them are.

As an example, see Dave. I don't think anyone could fall asleep during a speech delivered by Dave. He spoke at SVR in 2004 (Pretty sure he gave the "Mars Rover" speech elsewhere), and it perfectly fit my two criteria.
