Ramp Riot 2015: The Official Thread

[MissDaisyGirl]

Hello Ramp Riot Teams & Volunteers:

Ramp Riot is a little under two weeks away! Are your teams ready and pumped? Miss Daisy can't wait to host all of you on November 14th.

Some important things to note:

Team Check-in
Please be sure to check in your team as soon as you arrive. You must have your robot and team present in order to check-in fully. The table is located at the bottom of the loading ramp that leads to the floor of the gym.

Canned Food Drive
Don't forget about our canned food drive, which benefits a local food cupboard right here in our hometown of Ambler. Anything you can contribute will be appreciated by our community.

Apple Watch
This year we are raffling off an Apple Watch as one of our raffle items. This is sure to be a hot item! See our raffle table in the gym lobby for more details.

Seminars
We have a great batch of extra seminar/talks that you can attend this year. Team 2607 will be presenting "What's New in the 2016 Control System?". MAR will host an open forum over the lunch break. Our team's own Alan Ostrow will be holding a seminar on the Chairman's Award. If you're interested in attending this seminar, please fill out this survey so that we can see what some of the common questions are. Please forward this to your students as well.

Event T-shirts
Brand new Ramp Riot t-shirts will be on hand for purchase. Please check them out in the gym lobby.

Webcast
As usual, Team 341 is working hard on an HD webcast for this year. When its ready, it will be accessible at webcast.team341.com.

FTC
An FTC scrimmage will be held in our downstairs cafeteria the whole day. Please make sure to get down there and say "hi" to all the teams.

Our Sponsors
Special recognition goes out to DOW Chemical, Comcast, The Boeing Company, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Cobham Defense Electronics, Janssen Biotech Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Society of Women Engineers, DiD Agency, Denney Electric Supply, and Mid-Atlantic Robotics. Without them, none of this would be possible.
