I had no idea 4488 existed earlier today but functionally its 610's long lost fraternal twin and they didn't make the list.
I think nominating teams that impressed you would significantly improve the show by making it easy to vote. There are too many teams and events to see everything.
Here is what I propose when the next voting thread pops up:
-If you were at an event and think a team (not yours) deserves some recognition then make a post and recognize them.
-If possible include a photo, match video, and link to social media so they can build a following.
There are amazing robots amongst us and hardworking people that designed them. They don't have to make the final 25 but they deserve to know someone saw and was impressed by their work.
*I've never voted ever because of the popularity bias.

On behalf of my team, I just wanted to say that reading this made me feel warm and fuzzy inside! A shoutout from a team like yours blows our minds. I'll also mention that I love your robot's feeder arms this year and your release video was awesome. Best of luck to you guys!
And I apologize for the plug, but for those of you who don't know team 4488 Shockwave, we just released our reveal video
here.
