We would love to have you there! We have had teams come from the New York (145, 369) and Connecticut (716, 173) area in the past, so the trip is definitely manageable.

We still have alot of regular teams that have not signed up yet. Which means that we are more filled up than it seems. However its definitely not a panic yet. I would rather that you think carefully and make sure you are really attending before registering.

So the short answer is that you have time. We usually sell out by the first or second week of September.

Have a great summer and we hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Ramp Riot 2006: The Official Thread
 
Can't wait for Ramp Riot! We have been going to this competition since our team formed and it is a blast every time. This event is run really really well and it is one of my favorites every year. When we asked other 1403'ers which offseason they wanted to attend, RAMP RIOT was the [loud] consensus.

For all who don't already know, running an off-season event is mind numbing, consuming, tiring, heart stopping (the list goes on).... Congratulations and thank you team 341(and all volunteers involved) for putting on such a great show every year!

Re: Ramp Riot 2006: The Official Thread
 
I'm already looking forward to going. It was such a great time last year, with Miss Daisy lending us one of their older robots to modify for the 2005 game. This year we'll be back with an actual team number and our own robot, and it already looks like it will be another great event.

Thanks to everyone on Team 341 for everything they've done and putting on this fantastic event.

Re: Ramp Riot 2006: The Official Thread
 
Being as I was the one of the first people over there working on Miss Daisy 2, I was introduced to a selfless team who was kind enough to lend us their robot, help fabricate the parts nessesary to make it work for the 2005 game, and also helped us during the entire RR 2005 compitition. If there is anything you guys need help with for RR 2006 this year I would be glad to help, I definately will be attending with the entire Dawgma team and we thank you for giving us the great oppurtunity last year. I hope we can do the same for another team someday too.

With 36 teams it might be a little wild, but is there a dodgeball game planned? I always wanted to see one at the regional's team socials, but no luck.

I am not sure that it fits into our plans, but I will consider it.
Maybe if someone that went to IRI can PM me with details about how it was run, that would help us make a decision.

NEMO is pleased to be offering a Teambuilding Workshop at Ramp Riot this year. All mentors from any FIRST robotics program are invited to attend this free workshop. Participants will learn why it's critical to team success to involve teambuilding exercises before the build season, and will take home exercises to do with your team.

Hey, do you know if you guys are bringing your T-shirt shooter this year?

If so we would love to announce it and supply you with some t-shirt ammo.

Please ask your mentor when you get a chance.

Thanks!

Re: Ramp Riot 2006: The Official Thread
 
We are getting geared up for another great competition.

Every year we try to recreate the feeling of the regular season, for the benefit of the rookies and the teams that are trying to inspire them.

What makes Ramp Riot so much fun is the atmosphere created by YOU, the TEAMS that play here!

So we encourage you to bring that atmosphere with you!

Bring your spirit!
Bring your friends!
Bring your banners!
Bring your team buttons!
Bring it ALL!!

Lets celebrate everything that is great about FIRST! We owe it to the rookies to rock the stadium.

This will be RAGE's 3rd year in attendance at Ramp Riot. Every year so far we have had a blast. Team 341 definitely knows how to throw an event. For anyone who's first time this is to Ramp Riot, I guarantee you will have a blast. The caliber of the teams that compete is top notch, and it is overall an amazing event to attend. I have had nothing but good times so far and I am sure they won't let me down again.

We are pleased to announce that Ramp Riot will also host a double field VEX competition near the FRC arena. This competition will house anywhere from 12 to 20 teams. This competition will be a mock/practice competition for teams preparing for local regionals.

We are so excited about this new addition.

We will also maintain a kids VEX driving zone in the main lobby of the FRC competition.

Thank you to the NJ, PA, MD and DE, FVC groups for putting this amazing event together.

Unfortunately I wont be able to attend Ramp Riot this year. It's the first time in 3 years I won't be able to make it.

FLL events back home, and also another (what should be) awesome concert pulls me away from PA this year.

Good luck to everyone who goes, and have a great time folks!

I think we'll leave those items at home. We don't want people screaming for the exit with damaged ear drums. :D

P.S.

Gotta love the sticks... I have my pair with all my FIRST memorabilia from when I was a HS student on RAGE, and the pile continues to grow as a mentor......... one of these days it will all probably be donated to the team as I am slowly running out of space...

Yeah! I'm a little bit behind.

I'll post a schedule this weekend. Generally we have team arrival at 6:30 AM, opening ceremony at 8:45-9:15 AM. With first match at 9:15.

With 36 teams we will get in 5 rounds before playoffs. Lunch is generally at 12 Noon. We work hard to keep a pretty strict time schedule. The pace keeps the event action filled.

I'll post the official info this weekend.

Re: Ramp Riot 2006: The Official Thread
 
After 7 years, I finally sat down to think about the meaning of Ramp Riot both for myself and the teams that attend each year. I wrote my thoughts in the introduction to the info packet, but I thought I would share them here with you. There are many reasons to hold an off-season competition, but one of the most important is to captivate those new members on each and every team that attends.
Our team feels a very personal responsibility to make this a fun experience that keeps people coming back each year. Sometimes you only get one shot to get a kid excited about FIRST! If you are attending Ramp Riot please think carefully about what is written below. Lets put on a show for the benefit of the rookies.
Thanks!

Al


Welcome to Ramp Riot 2006!
We want to thank everyone for taking part in this celebration of FIRST! What has kept Ramp Riot such a successful event has always been the quality of the participating teams. We are grateful for your attendance.
Ramp Riot started in the fall of 2000 with 8 teams in an almost empty gym. The original idea was to hold a scrimmage and train a few rookies. But the teams had such a great time that we decided to play every year.
Now in our 7th year, the goal has not changed. The principal mission of Ramp Riot is to train and inspire rookies. Even though we have grown to 36 FRC teams and 20 FVC teams, the rookies still need that spark of inspiration that will keep them in FIRST. This spark of inspiration comes from YOU!!
Keep this in your thoughts as you compete at Ramp Riot. Be strong in competition, enthusiastic in the stands and supportive in the pits. Let’s all get excited for the benefit of our new rookie members!

Ever since RAGE started going in 2004 this has definately been my favorite off season event for that reason. It has allowed our students to be revived with the FIRST spirit for the upcoming season. While in our first year competing down at Ramp Riot it was all veterans to the program attending, we still felt the spirit of the competition and event. We now have gone from a small group of 8 or so students and a few mentors to a group of approx 30 students and adults traveling from Connecticut down to Wissahickon High School for one of the best off season's there is. We now encourage all of our students to attend if they can as it definately simulates the experience of a true to life FRC event but without nearly as much stress as the real deal. It is definately a great training tool to attend offseason's like Ramp Riot and some of the other fall "Pre Season" off season events.

Definately can't wait for Ramp Riot 06'!

Wow that is a big statement considering all the stuff you have with the words "BATTLECRY" printed on it.

actully I really shouldn't talk as this will be my first ramp riot, but after this weekend I will tell you for sure ;)

222 is ready and we are bringing our crew of rookie drivers who placed 2nd at BE and lost by only four points in the third match of the finals. I am also am going to be full time coach as Camtunkpa can't make it.

Looks like you have a crew of teams attending ready for a competitive riot!

Yes, There are definitely many great off-season events, some of which I want to attend someday. ( Like Battlecry, IRI, and a few others) I also love going to PARC each year because it was our first off-season competition back in 2001. I definitely don't want to compare our single day event to some others out there. I just wanted to say what Ramp Riot means to us and encourage other teams to see the same vision that we see for the event. We want every rookie leaving excited about FIRST!!

While I may have a lot of stuff with BattleCry on it, I do like Ramp Riot more, for simply the fact that I have more fun. If you want hardcore competition then BattleCry or Ramp Riot will work, but if you want hardcore competition with a lot less stress and a lot more fun then definately Ramp Riot wins out over BattleCry.
Just my $.02 though.

Hi Jon:


I appreciate your support of Ramp Riot, but would like to keep this discussion to just issues surrounding Ramp Riot. I am sure that Battlecry is awesome and actually hope to take our team there some day.

I definitely don't want to turn this thread into a discussion comparing off-season events. So lets celebrate the upcoming competition and not compare events in this thread.

Thanks for your help.

We have a DJ that will be working the event all day. He's very good and yes, he will take requests.

Also we now have a confirmed time for radio station Q-102. They will be sending out their Q-Unit to WHS and they should arrive around 1 PM and stay til about 2PM. They will be giving away t-shirts and other prizes. Look for their table after lunch!

Re: Ramp Riot 2006: The Official Thread
 
for anyone who are not able to attend Ramp Riot.

we have a scoring system that will automatically keep you updated on what is happening at ramp riot. this is sort of like ESPN's GameCast feature. you will be able to see the all the matches, teams in the match, where the balls were scored for each alliance, robots on the ramp, and of course the final score. there are links to the rankings and playoffs. the rankings will be updated about every 10 matches hopefully. there is also a help page if you are confused at what you are looking at.

here is the link. (works best in Internet Explorer 6) http://www.team341.com/rrscores.html

currently the page refreshes every 3 seconds since we are still testing it. come Saturday it will be slowed and not as annoying.

please send feedback.
for any questions or comments, send me a PM or email me at hja62@drexel.edu

Everyone who can't go- We'll try not to have too much fun

Everyone who can go- Let's make them feel sorry for not going (in a way that would make our grandmother's proud)

I can't wait, and the rest of 1403 can't either, when they made an announcement at the end of the day reminding all members going on the trip to be at school at 5:50am(!) we got some laughs, but we'll be there they saved the best 2006 event for last, but they got some stiff competition. Brunswick Eruption, Duel on the Delaware, Monty Madness, PARC, the Championship, the Boston Regional, and the NJ Regional were all a Hoot. Then again, there is only one Riot.

Freddy,

601 Houston is the Administration building. The High School's address is 521 Houston Road, Ambler, PA 19002-3599. Here is a driving map from Berlin, NJ. Hope this helps.

Best of luck to all the teams competing tomorrow--I won't be able to make it back form college, but I trust y'all do the right thing and cheer so loud that I can hear it from State College. :p
