Re: [FRCTop25.com] Week 2 Results LIVE tonight!
I do think it is a bit ridiculous that some are upset at the fact that their team didn't make the Top 25. We all need to realize that these rankings are not 100% based off statistical data.
The only real time where this voting was near true was back in 2011 when there was another set of anonymous voters who analyzed the pool of robots that could be picked for that week. These individuals are not only much more competent than some voting but they also had tangible data to back them up.
I don't think a popularity based vote identifies the capability of a single teams robot. Now if people could prove me wrong and show me the data they used to generate their team list that would be reasonable. However, I don't view the FRC Top 25 as a viable ranking for robots and neither should anyone else.
