Can't wait until 05:30 tomorrow when we leave for RR. Always great seeing the friendly faces and round room they call a gym...

Be sure to check out the webcast at http://webcast.team341.com. It should redirect you to a Ustream broadcast.

Thanks!

The audio is saturated Turn it down.

Elims alliances, taken from the stream.

This doesn't include the 4th team from each alliance, I didn't realize there would be 4 when I grabbed the screenshot and it wasn't on stream when I went back. I'll update this if they show the alliances again.

Here are the alliances including the 4th teams:

1. 225, 341, 304, 4637

I was at Ramp Riot today, and it was definitely lots of fun. Got a chance to meet lots of local FRC and FTC teams and make quite a few friends today. In addition, Team Daisy did a really really really nice job organizing this event (like it couldn't get any better than this!)



I pretty much stayed for the entire event even after the rest of my team left (having been defeated in the quarterfinal rounds), and it was totally worth seeing every match score high into the 100s.

Congrats to team 225, 341, 304, and 4637 for winning the final matches, 1676 for winning the gracious professionalism award, and every team who participated at today's event. I was very overwhelmed by how good these robots were, and many of these teams have displayed lots of pride in who they are and what they have accomplished thus far.

It was also very cool to see two teams winning the FIRST Chairman's award compete in the same competition - MOE 365 and Miss Daisy 341. I was especially intrigued when these teams spread the message of FIRST around the world to Singapore and the UK. I also saw a few weird references to My Little Pony in the FTC competition, but that's another thread. :0

I look forward to next year's Ramp Riot, and the start of the season in January.

(NOTE: I was a volunteer at IROC last year - I moved from VA over the summer. I was also at the 2013 world championships in St. Louis with FRC 1885.)

Re: Ramp Riot 2013: The Official Thread
 

I have to say; this has, hands down, been the best Ramp Riot I have been to so far. Many thanks to those who made it awesome, all the volunteers, teams, students and mentors who came and helped and competed.

Kudos to our opponents for making the matches fun (365, 316, 869, 423), (2729, 11, 1403, 834) and (2016, 3314, 369, 1923). The nailbiter matches in the semis were incredible.

And, a huge thanks to 225, 341, and 4637 for picking us and playing with us thoughout elms. Coaching next to Dustin and Ben was really really fun, sorry for the multiple heart attacks our driver gave you. :D

I look forward to next year. It's gonna be good...

Re: Ramp Riot 2013: The Official Thread
 

Wasn't at the event, but I will vouch for the quality of the webcast, top notch even with the early audio issues.

Congrats to 225, 341, 304, and 4637 on the win. Our matches against you in the semis was some of the most exciting matches I saw all season, which also happened to be the last matches for our 2013 robot.

Good luck to everyone competing at Brunswick next week, and we'll see everyone Week 1 at Mt Olive.

TechFire has had an insane season, and we were very happy to finish our 10th competition with this robot the same way we finished our first competition, with team 341. Thank you to 304 and 4637 for rounding out the alliance as well--we would have lost without both of you. We faced a lot of friends along the way, and none of them made it easy.

Thank you to 341 for hosting the event! It ran like clockwork.

Re: Ramp Riot 2013: The Official Thread
 

Thanks for an amazing event as always team 341. Your event is alway a great place to get our new team members a taste of what they are going to get during the season.

First of all Team 2016 would like to give a HUGE thank you to teams 3314 and 225. Without the laptop from 3314 and the programming expertise from team 225 we would have never have been on the field.

Congrats to winners 225, 341, 304, and 4637 it was a great finals match. That second match was a nailbiter as we went neck and neck for most of the match. Thanks for the fun!

Congrats to all the award winners: 365, 1676, 1403 and 4575. All really great teams.

Finally but especially not least: Thank You to the teams on our alliance. 3314, 369, and 1923. All great teams that we have had the opportunity to be with on and off the field. The 4 team alliances really made things interesting as all 4 teams were great together. It was awesome that we were able to swap in and out at whim to meet the needs of the competition, Thanks Again and best of luck to everyone for the upcoming season.

Re: Ramp Riot 2013: The Official Thread
 

This was one of the best streams of an FRC event that I have ever seen! Right up there with Michigan State Championship in terms of production values. The camera work and announcing by Mike Rizzo and Tom Wexler were absolutely awesome.

Looks like you didn't skip a beat without me! Though I will take watching an HD stream from my couch in San Francisco over a 5AM start any day :)

Re: Ramp Riot 2013: The Official Thread
 

Is there a link to the recording yet? I'm really excited to check it out.

Ramp Riot was great as usual! Congrats to all teams competing, see you in 2014! :)

Re: Ramp Riot 2013: The Official Thread
 

I'm with Akash. I really want to rewatch some of the matches, whenever you guys get to it!
