After two long days of working, our gym is ready to rock... we think we've made enough changes to top even Ramp Riot III.. A big thanks to Mike Wade and Pete Baltzell (who sadly could not attend)- their setup was amazing, they designed everything perfectly.. i mean, who puts a crank on a tv cart so you can crank the 72'' tv up? absolutely brilliant...

Well.. Ramp Riot IV is done, congrats to the championship alliance, 316, 484, and 433- also thanks to our partners 487 and 706 who helped us battle through two tough rounds, we almost pulled it off in the finals :/
Again, i must thank the amazing Mike Wade, along with Pete Baltzell, Drexel's Jim Moore, our team leaders Mr. Ostrow and Mrs. Campagna, and everyone else who pitched in. We'll be there again next year ![]() |

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I sure enjoyed Ramp Riot...even if our robot did start smoking on the field.
But I'm still proud of our drivers because they did a wonderful job! Go team go! And I'd like to congratulate all the winning teams for their wins, and all the other teams for showing such wonderful effort out there...in my hearts, you're all winners! Anyway, the music was great, the competition was fierce, and the atmosphere was wonderful. Everyone was cheering and dancing and being loud ...and all that stuff I love about FIRST! So even though Wissahickon ran out of pizza before I could get my hands on a piece (I forgive you because the cookies were delicious!) I thought the event was incredible! Let's hope it's just as good (if not better) next year! |

Thanks
The Firebirds had a great time at Ramp Riot as most of you who were there probably saw. Thanks team 341 for all your hard work and for making it a great competition. And of course thanks to team 316 for choosing us as your alliance partner and thanks to team 484. We really did make a great alliance!

I'm not sure which was more fun...the competition itself or gathering up all those canned food goods! Everything was great and I think Miss Daisy did a great job running it. It was a wonderful event and I personally know I was having so much fun I lost my voice for two entire days afterwards. I think it's safe to say that team 365 had a great time there.

Thanks Miss Daisy for another great event. Ramp Riot has always been my favorite off season event. It was this event two years ago that got me hooked on robotics and every year it is a joy returning. I know this year, Ramp Riot has gotten even more Firebirds hooked on robotics becuase it is such a high spirited and competative event. I must admit I also lost my voice, which is unfortunate becuase I left RR to perform in my school's last night of Les Miserables and wasnt capable of singing very well. Oh well, I had so much fun loosing it, definatly worth it! Special thanks to the Lunatecs for selecting us in you alliance, and to Haverford for their great effort; we made a great team!

Thanks to All the Teams!!
To all of the Ramp Riot Teams:
I just wanted to drop a line and say congratulations to our Champions 316, 433, and 484. All of you are teams that I admire for your spirit and competitive edge. Ramp Riot remains strong because of the teams that play here. This may sound like a cliche', but it is absolutely true. Anyone that saw the list of teams said, "This field of teams is AWESOME"!!! It is our goal and our hope each year to try to approximate the feeling of a regional. We want every team that comes to Ramp Riot to go home with happy, excited, and trained rookies!! Thanks to all of the teams for attending Ramp Riot 2003!! Good luck and we'll see you in January! Al Ostrow Coach Team 341 |

Thanks
The competition at Ramp Riot was, as usual, very dynamic. After this successful event, Cybersonics would like to thank teams 303 and 11 for their excellent alliance. So, thank you for making the finals so interesting and memorable.
Hope to see you next season, Cybersonics, Team 103 |

Support Mike Wade
To All Ramp Riot Teams:
Please show your support for Mike Wade, the incredible NASA employee that drives his home-made FIRST arena up and down the east coast. Every year he must justify, to his superiors, the cost of helping FIRST teams. Please send Mike your letters of appreciation, so that he can continue this work for the benefit of all. His address is below. Mike Wade, NASA Goddard SFC: mwade@mscmail.gsfc.nasa.gov Thanks!! Al Ostrow Team 341 |

I second that!
Please heed Al Ostrow's request. There were between 30-40 East Coast teams that attended the off-season events which used the NASA Goddard field. Mike Wade has been instrumental to making these events happen.
If you attended these events, as a participating team or a FIRST junkie, please take a few minutes to write a note of appreciation to Mike Wade and NASA. We have seen that FIRST creates the environment for us to do more than we ever thought we could accomplish. Mike Wade has done that also. To allow his tireless efforts to continue to affect thousands of students, we need to band together and show support. Please help!!!!! |
