Not really sure if I really count as a ChiefDelphier (given that I barely ever post), but I'll be there with bells on!

And no, not literally.

And if dibs on the chopper ride isn't closed yet...*calls *

Thanks for your continued support!

Ah there's nothing like carpooling with two 341 team alumni and driving 7 hours back to our old high school....Can't wait to see everyone who shows up!

Hey, I'm trying to get a little Robot Showcase going on at Ramp Riot, which would give spectators/little kids a chance to look at the technical aspects of robots. I was wondering if any teams would be able to bring an extra retired robot with them to be placed in our hallway for the day. It wouldn't get turned on or anything, just kinda gawked at. I think it would be really cool if we had a bunch of great robots to show people, and explain what they all meant. I know that at North Brunswick Eruption they had a similar thing, so hey, if you want to bring any robots along with you, Raider Robotix (like Cradle Robber!) that'd be awesome! Anyway, we'd love it if you could, but either way, be ready for an awesome, fun competition.

Thanks!

Well, things are looking pretty good. We have the pit set up and wired. The field was delivered and everyone is fired up.
Field construction in the AM, decoration in the PM. We should be driving on the field by 2:00 PM or so.

Dave has put together an incredible opening video which includes every participating team and a time lapse of the field being built.

We have a live band at lunch and Y-100 giving out prizes.

But most importantly we have some of the best teams on the East Coast coming out to play!!

We can't wait for Saturday!!!

Wow, it really was a great competition yesterday. Some of the best Mid-Atlantic teams out there. It was really odd though, normal favorites like 222 and 303 took some early falls and just never seemed to recover, while some of the smaller unknown teams finally stepped up and won something big.
Thanks to daisy for holding a great event, and the amazing fights in semi's. You guys are such a great robot this year.
Thanks to 484 and 87 aswell for helping us bring home another nice big trophy .

Great times, except the whole getting pinned down by three teams and getting written on with sharpie.

Ramp Riot '04 went Miraculously thanks to all of the participating teams, and everyone who helped out with everything!!!
Congratulations to the winning teams!
I look forward to seeing everyone when the season begins!!!!
