I'd say that the person whom left the biggest mark would be Brandon Martus (big surprise). His dedication to the behind-the-server world of FIRST is amazing. His time put into these forums is incredible. Brandon also runs other recreational sites and whatnot, but he always helps out FIRST in whatever little ways he can. Even when this crazy roadtripping Indiana-er called him up to go to Canada's Wonderland, of all places, he agreed. My parents are a little skeptical about me going on roadtrips by myself, so Brandon has been my roadtripping buddy for competitions all over the midwest, including the Detroit and Midwest Regional. He provoked me after going to the first Michigan Team Forum to come back up the very next day for another... and let me crash on his couch. I drove back down to Indiana the next day for work. We've hung out at regionals (Midwest, Detroit), off-seasons (Canada's Wonderland, IRI), and even in Atlanta. Brandon has been my FIRST buddy through and through.
