FUN is opening up our 2nd annual FRC Top 25 Popularity Poll for Charity! The poll is open through 8pm US Eastern on Saturday!
Vote here: https://goo.gl/forms/5Ck5tg9C21C1C38S2 YOU CAN VOTE FOR ANY TEAM! Your own team, a team that doesn’t exist anymore, we don’t care. Rig the voting and get everyone you know to cast their vote. Trolls: This is your time to shine! Why are we doing this? Why not, we all know you think the FRC Top 25 is a popularity contest anyways We’ll run down the FRC Top 25 on Monday starting at 8:30pm US Eastern.
Every qualified entry we receive we will make a donation to the FIRST in Texas Harvey Fund. We will also be collecting donations on and off stream and provide some sweet prizes if we meet thresholds!
Donate here: https://streamlabs.com/firstupdatesnow All donations through the end of the show will go towards the fund and also to the donation goals for prizes!
SUB BONUS! If you are a subriber to FUN on Twitch and your team makes it into the FRC Top 25 we will ask if you would like to call into the show via discord to talk about your team. Anyone can join our discord: https://discord.gg/k64bJNj
Want to further influence the poll? Post here and get others to vote for who you think should make it.
We are also looking for a couple teams who would be willing to donate a new t-shirt or other iteam for prizes to the poll. Please PM me if you are interested and your team will get a shout out on the show.
Duplicate teams and copied entries will result in your poll being disqualified from voting and not counting toward the donation. Make your own educated decisions. You must vote for at least 15 teams.
Example: You can only vote for FRC3487 once in the poll. By coincidence somebody just put their team number in for every entry which results in their entry being deleted when we run it through our calculator.
Team 4159 CardinalBotics is really hoping to get mentioned on the show - vote for us and we’ll put some swag up for giveaways! (Assuming we make it into the top 25…)
I think we should make the announcers really work at this. The rule is that you cannot use team numbers to reference teams, you must only use their complete nicknames, and I advocate for these teams:
number placing nickname
5459 1 Ipswich TIGERS (Technologically Inclined Group of Engineering Robotics Students)
6301 2 Nerointellect-sim Engineering & Robot Design Soiree N.E.R.D.S.
1847 3 W.R.A.T.H (Wyandotte Robotics and Technology Hackers)
1726 T4 N.E.R.D.S. (Nifty Engineering Robotics Design Squad)
5900 T4 Career Blazer Robotics Team - The Fighting Mongooses
3130 6 The East Ridge Robotic Ominous RaptorS - the ERRORS
2883 T7 F.R.E.D (Fighting Rednecks Engineering and Design)
4469 T7 R.A.I.D. (Raider Artificial Intelligence DIvision)
5450 T9 St. Helens Robotics and Engineering Club (SHREC)
6617 T9 Bellinghan High School Black Hawks Robotics Club
6387 11 Discobots Canada (Brampton Robotics Education)

6062 T18 WHAM (Willyama High Advanced Mechatronics)
3930 T21 SMART Spruce Mountain Area Robotics Team
6657 T21 University Prep High School Robotics Team
1322 T23 Genesee Robotics Area Youth Team (GRAYT)
4119 T23 AERO (Avon Eagles Robotics Organization)
6070 T23 Pratt & Whitney Canada : Gryphon Machine

Okay, I know I put 6301 down as second, but they probably have my favorite name on this list. I just love the idea of a robotics team being described as a soiree, and not just any soiree, but a Nerointellect-sim Engineering & Robot Design Soiree.
It’s more fun when you realize the the survey is set up for numbers only and some teams have in fact had more than one number in their history, legitly.
Thank you everyone for voting for the FRCTop25 Popularity poll for charity.
We received 200 votes and 797 unique teams (or numbers?) voted for.
