FRC Top 25 was created to recognize "solid robots". How would people feel about using these threads to congratulate a lower profile team that deserves some recognition (and maybe some votes)?
I wouldn't mind if people chose a robot from an event
they attended and wrote a short description of it. Does this idea have merit or do we think this contributes to the clutter on CD?
For example:
From GTRW I would like to recognize
Team 2935 - NACI Robotics.
This robot was a menace at GTRW last week, taking home the Engineering Excellence award and a finalist trophy. NACI reliably scores in the low goal and excels at chasing down truss shots and completing 21 point cycles quickly. Their robot is amazingly quick, very well driven, and its value rises as defensive intensity increases. Their game approach was proven successful when as the 3rd alliance captain, 2935 upset a strong second alliance and took the finals to a third match with the help of 188's truss shot and 3705's defence.

If this catches more people could confidently fill in the 15-25 spots on the ballot, we crowd-source material for the hosts, and deserving teams get recognition regardless. Everybody wins!
