I know that 233 improved significantly in Boston, but the name recognition bonus that teams like they receive really ruins the credibility of these polls.
You see the same thing with teams like 118, 111, 148, 71, 33, 610, and 399. They're all either very well known teams or released nifty promo videos. They all did well. But there are teams that have unquestionably outperformed them ranked beneath them.

^^^^^ This right here. Totally agree. Id also like to mention how 2481 was #1 seed at Wisconsin amazing auto consistency and accurate teleop shooter, and no recognition from what Ive seen. Definitely motivates me to vote more often and get others to vote!
