: As to power behind the organizations, I would stack FIRST's backers up against nearly all comers.

I definately agree here. It seems like when Dean sets his mind on something, he gets it accomplished. After hearing Dean's quote on 60 minutes a while back about changing the world through FIRST, I thought that if it's possible, Dean's the one who can do it.

With respect to the power of the FIRST & BattleBots organizations, I think FIRST is more powerful. Just take a look at the board of directors of FIRST and see how many corporate CEO's sit on it, and all the corporate sponsors of the FIRST organization and teams. Dean has professional relationships with a number of other CEO's, and he's had presidential candidates visit his house during the primary season (including current President Bush).
