Not making it is not a disappointment, it just shows that we are not that well known across the country, or that people view the northwest teams as weaker and our wins less meaningful. Letting this upset our team would be pointless, we are proud of what we have accomplished, and not being recognized by some people should not diminish that.

Also likely that relatively few people from the Northwest (or Southeast) voted. Anyone from the Northwest would put 1983 on their list, possibly along with other deserving teams like 2471.

I would have to agree that there are some really good teams that get left out every week. What really surprises me is that week after week most people do not vote for more that 15 teams. This week 20 of 82 voters had all 25 filled out with only 8 going more than 15. With so many good teams having competed this season I was expecting way more people filling all 25. Anyone didn't fill out more that 15 care to explain why?

I admit I only voted for 17 teams. I was only familiar with about 17 really good robots to put on the list. I would rather vote for 15 teams I know and believe did well instead of 25 teams with 10 or so teams just randomly written down to fill in blanks.

Not enough time/energy to dig deep into memory. If I had a lot of time and data I would, but build season never ends.
