Team 222 has been a tremendous influence on the growth of Ramp Riot and the entire Mid-Atlantic off-season circuit.

Back in 2000, we were a rookie team with an idea to hold a small Fall scrimmage. We looked to 222 for advice on how to put it all together. Fred Harding (222 head coach) was gracious and full of encouragement.

That first year we only had 8 teams in an empty gym. One of those teams was 222.

In the years that followed an entire "circuit" of events has grown. Team 341 not only organizes Ramp Riot but also attends PARC, Maryland State Fair, Duel on the Delaware and Final Bin Bash. These events provide all of the quality excitement that you would expect at any regular season event.

In the true spirit of FIRST we cooperate with each other, making sure that we all have what we need to make a great event.

Gracious Professionalism is not just an expression. It is a springboard for success! And I really feel that this all started with Fred Harding back in 2000.

This year at our 4th annual Ramp Riot we will honor the original 7 teams that joined us that day in the gym. Team 222, the Tigertrons, is one of those teams. These folks are True "GAMERS" in every sense of the word!!!

Thanks for all that you do for FIRST.
