FIRST Celebrity Status

[bEdhEd]

I was thinking about how certain people who participate in FIRST attain such great reputations as leaders, mentors, engineers, or overall just fantastic people, and how they gain such a following. Is it their enthusiasm, their knowledge, their availability, or is it something more unique? I'm talking about the people that a majority or a large number of the FIRST or at least FRC community knows of. I would like to know your input on what you think makes a person in FIRST stand out in a sea of already outstanding people!

Posting alot on CD doesn't hurt.

Definitely not. I was surprised that someone at the 2013 championships recognized me on the field when I was coach on the drive team. They said they remembered me from CD! However, they didnt remember my username right and butchered it.

And you know what? I certainly recognized him at Championship this year! (Though I was a little confused when his name tag didn't say "Koko Ed")

I want to be Andrew Lawrence when I grow up.

I think really, it's just the amount of enthusiasm the mentor/student/leader puts into their posts and the competitions. I mean, anyone can post a lot of words without making that big of a difference. I think it's really great when someone can come in and make this incredible post to help other students know what it is that FIRST is all about.
