To all organizers and volunteers at Ramp Riot.

On behalf of MOE 365, thank you all for holding yet another terrific event! We appreciate the time and effort that goes into an event like this. It definitely showed!

Thanks also to 103 Cybersonics for selecting us for eliminations. Almost! :D Thanks also, to 1640 Sa-BOT-age, are guys are a great partner.

Congrats to all the award winners and event champions - 2016, 222, 1403. Nice game play and strategy!

Wishing everyone a great holiday season. Enjoy your relaxation while you can - FIRST 2012 is coming up fast!

Thanks to everyone who makes Ramp Riot such an amazing event year after year! Thanks so much to Miss Daisy, especially for letting us bring our second robot. This was an amazing experience for the kids!

Congratulations to 2016, 222 and 1403 on their victory! To Mighty Monkey Wrenches especially, we always learn so much being on the field with you guys (even when you do hand it to us).


Also many thanks to MOE and Cybersonics for inviting us to this powerhouse alliance! We had a fantastic time as always, and I'm sorry we couldn't pull off a finals bid. Also many thanks to 708 for stepping in for 103 on such short notice. You guys are a great team (and would have rocked in the finals), even with such rough competition.

For our second robot, thanks to 303 and 2199 for working with our with us in the last finals match (though we know this selection was random). We're sorry this didn't work out (and about the entanglement), but you guys were great to work with and this was a really valuable experience for our rookie drive team.

Sorry for such a delayed response...

Thank you everyone for making this event extremely fun and enjoyable again. This will be the 4th year we have attended Ramp and its always a blast.

We as a team, really appreciate all the comments to the robot and teams capabilities. This was a special year for us and one that we will remember for time to come, also because its the last year we face the true regional format here in the NJ/PA/DE area.

Hopefully with the new district model we will see some of the local teams we meet only at NJ/Ramp more frequently and get to build better team relationships with everyone.

good luck with 2012 season to all.
