Our elimination policy actually pre-dates FIRST's policy.
We have been doing 4 robot elimination rounds for about 5 years now and will continue this practice.

I highly recommend 4 robot elims for any event.

There are a few reasons that we started doing this.

1- Since we are trying to inspire everyones rookies. There is nothing more inspirational than having your team in the playoffs.
2- More invested teams = more play-off excitement and more screaming spectators.
3- Under the old system, teams that were not selected, packed up and left.
This usually meant that teams with breakdowns could not find a back-up robot very easily. Searching for the next available back-up robot was slowing down match play.

4 robot elimination alliances is a classic Win-Win situation. The only minor cost is Two extra trophies. This is a very small price to pay for all those extra smiles. :)

Hello everyone,

I am from team 75. I would first like thank team 341 for consistent hosting a great annual event.

We were looking forward to participating with you guys again, but unfortunately our team is having some logistical issues this year.

We send our regards and wish all the teams good luck.

To All Ramp Riot Visitors:

Please Remember to bring canned goods for the needy to Ramp Riot.
We ask that you consider this worthy cause to honor the memory of Mike Wade.
Mike was a NASA Goddard employee that passed away in 2007.
Mike gave so much to FIRST and to the East Coast off-season events.
The details are below.

Canned Food Drive
The team that delivers the most canned goods will win the 8th Annual “Mike Wade Memorial Award” (eagle trophy).
These cans are donated to the Mattie N. Dixon Community Cupboard to prepare Thanksgiving Dinners for needy families.
We welcome cans from both teams and individuals.

Thank you for giving this valuable gift to families in need!

Re: Ramp Riot 2014: The Official Thread
 
We have (3) very important requests :

1- Help a Rookie MAR Team at Ramp Riot
A new team will be forming at North Penn HS and North Montco Technical Career Center.
They will be sending their students and mentors to Ramp Riot to observe.
We are looking for teams that would be willing to have a few students shadow with your team for the day.
If you can help us to inspire a few rookies, please contact Dr. Paul Gehman directly at paul.r.gehman@lmco.com
Lets give NPHS and NMTCC a big MAR welcome at Ramp Riot!

2- Judges Needed for Ramp Riot
We are awarding several Judged Awards at Ramp Riot 2014. We currently have (4) independent judges that have volunteered so far.
We are looking for 2 to 4 more judges to help the current crew and spread out the task to make the day enjoyable for all.
If you can help with Judging a few awards, please let us know ASAP. Please PM me directly. Please feel free to forward this request to anyone you think would make a great judge.

3- A reminder about Food Can Donations
The team that delivers the most canned goods will win the 8th Annual “Mike Wade Memorial Award” (Eagle Trophy).
These cans are donated to the Mattie Dixon Community Cupboard to prepare Thanksgiving Dinners for needy families.
We welcome cans from both teams and individuals.

Yes! Any time after 5 PM is good for load in. We just ask that you bring a smaller crew because we are still putting the final touches on the pit areas and the stadium.

Hello everyone,

We fried our digital sidecard tonight during drive practice after a pwm cable came unplugged. We have one on order and are pretty sure we are not going to get it on time for Saturday.

We wanted to see if a team going might be able to lend us one for the event on Saturday?

You can reply back on this post or contact me via email at stesh@team4954.org or call or text me at 302-312-4166.

Thanks

Agreed, the Ramp Riot XV graphic that was shown on the screen and their customized intro to the scoring screens were amazing, as were the videos that their media team made throughout the day. Awesome job!

Re: Ramp Riot 2014: The Official Thread
 
This weekend, Team 341, Miss Daisy put on a spectacular show at Ramp Riot 2014! We hosted 52 teams from 5 different states and collected 1,147 cans of food for donation to a local food cupboard. This year was especially notable due to it being the 15th anniversary of the event. The day would not have been as amazing as it was without the hard work and dedication of all of our students, parents, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, and partner organizations!

Many new endeavors were orchestrated this year and everything looked amazing: new electrical lines for our teams, new food options for our guests, new banners, new signs, new field border advertisements, new t-shirts, and a brand new HD webcast. The webcast had over 300 total viewed hours of video.

Below are just some of the incredible results and a list of sponsors, organizations, and individuals to which we are grateful.
