I'm glad that Top 25 is changing up the voting system. Lesser known teams will get more views and more fans, and I think people will also learn more about each region in FIRST. Everyone knows about Michigan, Canada, California, and Texas. But maybe some people will take away some knowledge about teams from other less prominent regions.

I love looking up to the best teams, but hopefully we can also start a culture of learning about each region's top teams.

I admit Fantasy FIRST also plays into the cult as well but at least we do recognize other aspects of the team as well.

Playing Fantasy FIRST has helped me broaden my horizons on FIRST teams. Researching teams and events has made me a little more knowledgeable about teams and regions every year.
