Attention all teams attending Ramp Riot 2004!

This year we are planning to have an even better opening video than last year! Please send pictures of your robot to me at disaac341@gmail.com if you would like your team included in the video. I have tried to find pictures on my own but I have found that not many teams keep updated websites in the off-season. Thanks in advance to all teams attending. Let's rock out at Ramp Riot before FIRST announces the 2005 game!

From Penn to Wissahickon H.S. would be about a 45 minute drive, depending on traffic.. you could always take the train down to Ambler- and believe me, it's well worth it, the last competition in our area until spring 2005..


cant wait..

If all else fails and you can not get pics of the bots directly from the teams, here are some pics of some of the teams that you can use...

I still love this site.

I wish we could compete in Ramp Riot but as most off-season events, we live a little too far away to do it during the fall....but I would like to wish all teams there good luck! I hope everyone has fun and shows gracious professionalism. GOOD LUCK ALL TEAMS!

Now that we are so close, what other CDer's can I expect to see there? I am coming down and I'll probably have my chopper with me. Hope to see everyone there.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

I'll be there, with my sister, Keiko173 or Lisa (as some of us call her). RAGE is coming down with a crew of 16 or so!

[looneylin]

Wow this is going to be soo much fun! I can't wait!!! I'm hoping to see some CD ppl there and have a great time. As always, robotics rocks.

[henryBsick]

Its gonna be a good time...
Great teams and a big field are gonna be a lot of fun.
I can't wait. The only thing keeping me sane is Halo 2 .
See everyone Saturday!!

[Rabbit222]

Ah, Ramp Riot, my first robot event ever. This would be my second year going and I'm really looking forward to it. I had a blast last year and I know this year will be EVEN BETTER! Can't wait, see everyone there! Oh yeah, I'm hungry for some bar, be careful around me!

Ooh ooh.. Dibs on a ride on the chopper.. That is, if you are offering rides... lol

[Lisa Rodriguez]

The RAGE crew will have a total of 12 people, 9 kids, 3 adults. A small but sturdy crew of members will attempt to best represent the team, have fun and kick booty! I can't complain of getting out of school a tad bit early!!

Hey Teams:

Here are a few ways to make Ramp Riot even better.

1) Send those team pictures for the opening video. We want this day to be about YOU, not just Team 341.

2) Please participate in our canned food drive and basket raffles. Food goes to a local cupboard and the basket raffle $ goes to Juvenile Diabetes Research. The team that brings the most cans wins a trophy!

3) When you see Mike Wade and Pete Baltzell of NASA on Saturday, give them a big hug!! They bring and operate the field. Without them Ramp Riot would not be possible!

4) This is your last chance to dance before build season. Bring your SPIRIT, your banners, your left over team buttons. Lets play this thing like a regional!

I will be sending the event schedule shortly!

thanks!
Al Ostrow
