The best part is I got a bunch of cool LED lights (similar to the ones in Deans house) for free, so my room is looking cool, and saving energy!
Don't forget the Gizmodo article!

Actually, as smart as Dean is, he doesn't really run FIRST. While he is the Founder, and provides a lot of the inspiration and vision for FIRST, the organization is actually run by people such as:

Paul Gudonis--President

Ian McEwan--Vice President of Regional Operations

Cheryl Walsh--Senior Director of Marketing & Media Relations

Deborah McKinstry--Director of Human Resources

Collectively, these and their colleagues are known as Senior Management (click for complete list).

Also, the Board oversees FIRST. Dean is only one of umpteen people serving in this capacity; he's not even first on the list.

Furthermore, as far as Dean's wonderful inventions go, he employs a couple hundred bright people to help him bring ideas to reality. He calls his company DEKA.

So, as you go about building robots and competing with FIRST, get to know who some of the OTHER people are--your local Regional Committee, referees, VIPs, and volunteers. They all work together to ensure you and your team have a fun, safe competition. Remember to thank them, and if you can, volunteer. Who knows--someday you may end up helping to run FIRST.

Back to the thread topic--Dean did not design and install his LED-lit island home all by himself. He had help with that, too.
