I got a question. Do you need volunteers? I may end up going and will help with field reset if it calls for… Or anything, but I have done field reset at the NYC regional this year… so… ya know. Drop me a PM or whatever.
I would also like to help do field reset if you need it. i have no volunteering experience yet, and I would like to start at Ramp Riot. Please give me a pm.
You definitely are welcome to come to Ramp Riot, to help or just show up for fun.
We can always use experienced people like yourselves. You could help with the field, pit admin., Referee, tech assistance to teams. We also build the field on Friday. Any job you want to do is fine with us.
We usually have a good number of volunteers, so that you wouldn’t have to work all day unless you want too.
Here’s an updated team list for Ramp Riot 2004, Our 5th Anniversary!!
There are now 28 registered Ramp Riot teams with two on the waiting list.
Hope to see you there!!!

In general FIRST Frenzy Rules will apply. Some modifications may be sent in a future update. All size/weight requirements and inspection items will rely on your gracious professionalism. We reserve the right to require a machine modification for safety reasons. Selections will be allowed within the top 8. All teams will make the playoffs. The bottom 4 teams will be assigned to an alliance. The alliance does not have to play a 4th partner. These “back up” teams would be used only if the alliance captain chooses to do so.
Please encourage people from your area to attend Ramp Riot. If your school is within convenient driving distance to the event, this is a tremendous opportunity to promote your team. Take advantage of this event. INVITE YOUR SPONSORS and SUPPORTERS! Think of this as your only home game and a chance for people you know to see you in action.!!! We would especially urge you to encourage your elementary school kids to join us. They will love it.
We encourage you to participate in the Team Basket Raffle and Canned Food Drive charity efforts. It makes the day that much more meaningful for everyone.
We will have a live band at lunch time so there will be no special rounds this year. If for some reason the band cancels, we may conduct a simple shooting contest at lunch.
This year we are planning to have an even better opening video than last year! Please send pictures of your robot to me at [email protected] 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…
There’s only 4 more days until RAMP RIOT 2004 :ahh: It is definitely going to be crazy in Ambler and you will go crazy too when you see your team’s picture up on the big screen for the opening video! I still need pictures from the following teams for the opening video of RAMP RIOT 2004! Please send them to me ASAP to [email protected]
THANKS! AND SEE YOU AT RAMP RIOT!
