Here are 5 without even thinking hard:

#12 Sergey Brin
#13 Larry E Page
#70 Jeffrey P Bezos
#140 John E Abele
#374 L John Doerr

Beyond the obvious connection to Abele, FIRST's Chairman, each of these guys have actually spoken at the Championship at one time or another. So the connection is pretty strong.

I am sure that there are more connections (perhaps Bill Gates? How about DeVos? Steve Jobs?)

If you can make a connection to these folks and FIRST, let's hear it.

Joe J.
Steve Jobs reminds me that Wozniack was a judge at the LV regional. On another note, How is DeVos connected to FIRST(just wondering)?
