It's easy to get frustrated at the rankings are when you do most of your research and vote. (Although I'm guilty of regional biases too).

Especially in this year. Years like 2011 are easy in a sense that you can base who is number 1 by total tubes scored/fastest minibot. This season has brought forth a huge dynamic of playing the game with ground pick, autonomous 5 & 7 discs, full court shooting, fast cycles to the human player, quick 10 point hang, quick 30 point hang, 50 point dump, etc. All of which have proven effective strategies for winning regionals but its hard to say what is the number one strategy or number one robot for that matter when everyone brings something different to the table!
I love when people gripe about not being in the top 25 or their rank in the top 25. Its the top 25 of 2500+ robots. Even making it into the top 30-40 is huge!
