I saw someone in a green man costume at Wawa on Halloween. It was quite amusing for all.
Only something that wonderful could happen at a WaWa…
Woot! 2 days till the Riot! We can’t wait to come down to play. We will have a bunch of new team members with us.

Hi Everyone!
The field is almost done and we are looking forward to a great event on Saturday!
We are still looking for people to volunteer to be referees. Please let me if you are interested here. You can also log onto www.team341.com and go to the volunteer sign up page under “Ramp Riot” Its quick and easy.
We’ll make sure you get a Crew shirt and a few good meals!
Thanks for considering this late request.
Webcast of Ramp Riot Matches and Seminars:
Team 1511 is packing up and heading out this evening! See you all tomorrow! The students are very excited! Several parents are travelling with us for the first time! We can’t wait to play again with all of our favorite Phily area teams!
No audio on the webcast =\
Audio’s working for me. I forgot how hard Lunacy is to follow when you can’t glue your eyes to one robot.
Thank you to all of the teams, volunteers, parents, and special visitors who made the 10th edition of Ramp Riot live up to its billing!
I want to offer even more thanks to some special people who lent exceptional advice and help in getting our field up and running while avoiding most of the problems that plagued some off season events this year. Our only major hiccup was when somebody tripped over my computer’s power cable and I had to reboot FMS. We were scheduled to finish elimination rounds at 5:00PM; I shut down FMS after Finals match 2 at 4:59
Jeff Downs - Your knowledge and insight into running a FIRST field is unparalleled! Thanks for all of the emails, software, and phone calls that got us ready to run!
Pete Kieselbach - You are one of the major reasons why Ramp Riot works. Whether an FTA, referee, or head ref, you run events the way they are supposed to be run. We announced this when giving Pete a well-deserved volunteer award, but just so the Chief Delphi community knows it: On Pete’s Ramp Riot Volunteering Form, under “Why would you like to volunteer?”, he answered “Because I don’t learn from my mistakes”.
Ron Karpinski - Thanks for all of your help setting up and verifying that things were working, and for making sure that everybody had working WPA.
Rob Thate and NASA GSFC - Like I told Rob, anybody can bring a PC to run the field, but not everybody has a full FIRST field in their truck. We can never repay our debt to NASA and Rob for helping us out each and every year.
Team 2791 would like to thank 341 for putting on a great event. We would also like to thank team 1511 for giving us a transmission to fix our intake, and teams 834 and 1218 for winning the event with us. Can’t wait to return next year!
Jack
Team 1511 is home safe from the event and also wants to thank Team 341 for their hospitality! It was fun to play with some old friends and some new friends! It was a great chance for our students to mix up the drive teams, and to give the beta test system a tryout.
I had a great time as a referee, but boy, are my feet tired!
Today, four of the five car loads (one had to get home earlier) headed into Philadelphia and took the chance to see the Liberty Bell and a few of the sights within walking distance. I had a chance to go a little farther south and sample a Geno’s cheese-steak!
Now you all need to come up and see us!
Sounds good to me! I would love to go back to my “other home” (RIT alum )
On behalf of MOE 365, we want to thank Miss Daisy and all Ramp Riot volunteers for a terrific event. It’s great to have been around to see this event grow, from the 8 teams during year one, to the multi-faceted event it is today.
Congratulations on Ten Years of Ramp Riot!
Also, thanks to NASA, Wissahickon High School, and all the sponsors which made this event possible!
On the competition side, congrats to the winners and finalists and thanks to teams 768 and 1511 for running the Regolith with us.
For us and for most, this event puts a cap on Lunacy for 2009. Best of luck to all teams with our upcoming 2010 FIRST challenge.
I also want to say thanks to Miss Daisy for running such a great event. The FRC contest was great, our team had one of our best off-season performances.
It was nice to have a pit next to 1511 to learn all of their secrets (and to hang out with my sister Even though the space is packed with robots there are great site lines in the stands to watch the action.
I also liked the other robot stuff going on from the public drive area to the FTC competition in the back hall. Thanks for letting us be part of the outreach to the Girl Scout “Girls in Gear” program. They loved driving the VEX robots in the game we set up. Some of those Daisy Scouts (1 and 2nd graders) were pretty amazing at the controls.
Thanks for setting up control system presentations. It’s nice to see and talk to the beta guys to be able to plan ahead.
And finally, thanks for flying in Andy Baker. It was cool to meet the man that is the myth (or is it the legend?) of so many stories.
See you next year!
