If you don't want to vote that's fine, we'll have fun doing the show with or without you.

You mistook my rant about democracy in general for saying your rankings were crap. Your rankings tell us which robots captured public imagination, it shows which robots are inspiring people. This is pretty cool actually. What I'd like to know is what inspires people the same as a group of seasoned veterans are inspired by? Is it limited to teams that have had success on the field? Is it biased based on region? Week played? Event? What makes them inspirational?
Our job is to inspire. My goal is to try to determine what makes these robots inspirational.
