Thank you to everyone who tuned in last night for FUN Recap and the the FRCTop25 for week 2. We had 196 votes this last week and hope you decide to keep voting!
View the episode here. I’ll put a few time codes into the description so you can jump to the segment you want.
Note: AUS Southern Cross and ISR Event 3 are available for week 3 voting. If you want to know where your team ended up and they are not on the top 40 please shoot me a pm or post here.
Thanks everyone! Don’t forget on the FRC Top 25 poll next week when it comes out on Sunday evening.
New for this week are the top 5 alliances as voted by the community. We had about a 75% response rate on this so we will keep it going onto next week.
Top 5 Alliances of Week 2
[spoiler]
1 Orlando Regional (180, 4481, 1744)
2 ONT District - Ryerson University (610, 1114, 5596)
3 ISR District 1 (1574, 2230, 6738)
4 Arkansas Rock City Regional (3310, 16, 3991)
5 Central Valley Regional (1678, 1323, 2135)
[/spoiler]
I think two of the most underrated teams in this poll were 1732 and 1706. Their alliance at St. Louis could have held strong against any of those top 5 alliances.
Then again, I didn’t vote. Next week I guess I’ll have to…
I would also add x (who votes from which region). Some regions are under-represented by the amount of voters. I would encourage you to get others to vote so your region is better represented.

If you don’t compete in a given region, chances are you’ll only recall teams from that region that have been strong, and thus well-known, in the past. Case in point for Week 2: I really like 469, but they were clearly not the best Michigan team playing this past weekend. Don’t take my word for it; Jim and Dan agree that several other teams looked better.
