The FRC Top 25 has been running for a few years and some use it as an indicator of teams while others view it as a popularity poll. Let's put that to the test and do it for a good cause!

That's why we are opening up the FRC Top 25 2017 Pre-Season Popularity Poll. You vote for any teams that you want* and we will run down the top 25 live on the air on Monday 12/19 at 8:30PM Eastern! Make your case below on who you think should be the top team (or why your team should be).

FUN will be donating all ad proceeds to FRC Team 5871 - The Chickadees (https://www.facebook.com/chickadees5871/)who lost everything in a fire earlier this month. The more who watch the show the more we can donate! You can also donate by going to their Facebook page and following instructions.

Polls are open now and close Sunday at 2:00pm Eastern: https://goo.gl/forms/PL9Wi9wAr3jne3Q92

Don't forget to watch live on Monday 12/19 at 8:30pm Eastern at twitch.tv/firstupdatesnow or archived at youtube.com/firstupdatesnow

Please go and vote and tune-in for a great cause!

*One one team per submission and no duplicates they will just be automatically deleted.

A vote for 179 is a vote for complicated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW1Tq94AF4o&ab_channel=ChildrenoftheSwamp) mechanisms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvHnjYLO-HI&ab_channel=dylansmith) that get the job done

EDIT: Also for robots that look very different at their last event than they do in their reveal videos.......

[hutchMN]

I'm hoping to see 2052 make the list. They have been building fantastic robots for the last 5 years, and they're coming off their best season ever.

[wajirock]

I really hope 525 makes the list. They've built some incredible robots over the past few years, and they have an amazing out reach program. With 12 regional wins, 4 WFFAs, 2 RCAs, and several division elimination appearances, 525 without a doubt has an impressive record.

Man I don't know they are pretty unknown, I mean they didn't win a single event last year

[cadandcookies]

If we're really talking popular teams, I want to see 3132 up there. Seriously some of the nicest people I've ever interacted with in FIRST. Ditto for 987.

Same. Also rooting for the relatively unknown 254 to claim a spot.

[Caleb Sykes]

My absolute favorite teams are the ones who are hall of fame and have also had incredible success on the field in recent years. The ones that immediately come to mind are:
16
254
67
111
341
359
1114
987

Also 2056

[Justin Montois]

The only way to get all of these great teams on the list is to vote!

And be sure to tune in as the proceeds are going to a great cause!

Should we be voting for our personal "favorite" and top ranked teams by our metrics for long-term performance, or the teams that we perceive as being most popular amongst the community at large/most likely to have inflated numbers in this type of poll?

I'm glad FRC Top 25 has decided to start calling them what they are :P

[prozack19]

I really want to see 5895 make this list. As a rookie this year they ranked 9th at their first district competition. They were picked first round then knocked out in the quarter finals. Ranked 6th at their second district competition and captained to win the whole event. At the district championship they ranked 5th and captained but were eliminated in the semifinals. Also at worlds on the Carson division they ranked 4th, captained and made it to the finals where they were eliminated. On top of all this success they are some of the nicest people i have met.
