The solution is for people to post videos of matches and webcasts of good robots on Delphi so that people can actually watch these less known robots. one of the reasons pink was ranked after Orlando despite not being the main scoring robot on their alliance is it was very hard to find any videos of Orlando and no one can watch every webcast and every robot, especially weeks they compete so people assumed pink was the power team on the alliance. I have yet to find a good video of Orlando and 1592. another good example of this is MAR, i think MAR is very competitive and has a bunch or really good robots that no one outside the region knows about and yet only has 3 teams in the top 25 (and less next week because 365 will probably drop out because they are idle). I think and hope MAR championships opens a lot of people's eye's to how strong the region is.

FYI, here are videos of the Florida eliminations (which contain two MAR teams as a bonus
).
