There should a Top 25 for that, instead of pure performance, because there are plenty of rookie teams and 'young' teams that want recognition, but if their robot underperforms, then they don't get recognition.
I think it would be nice to recognize the less funded/smaller teams by making a Top 25 Graciously Professional teams, or something similar.

The nature of that type of action makes it poorly suited to this type of thing. The reason this "works" is that through webcasts, a single individual can view many different robots from across the country. Acts of Coopertition or GP typically affect an individual, single team, or single event.
It is absolutely a great idea to recognize teams that display great Coopertition and Gracious Professionalism, but that recognition is probably more appropriate in person at the event or in a thread in the Thanks ans/or Congrats section after the event. Ranking teams based on their GP just doesn't seem like that great an idea to me. I don't see how you can say that the 148 is any more or less GP than 234 or 365 or 93 or anyone else for that matter.
