Ramp Riot XIX

On November 3rd, 2018, Team 341 hosted Ramp Riot, our 19th annual off-season event. The day was a smashing success, with 36 FRC and 16 FTC teams from 3 different states coming to compete at Wissahickon High School. The competition was intense, and was a great experience for both recurring and new teams. Each team played hard, but worked harder, and the competition provided a great opportunity for new team members to learn about the environment at robotics competitions. Attendees had a great time as they watched matches, had their faces painted, and learned to operate our Sparky’s Robot World robots. As a team, we collected 300 cans for donation for our local food cupboard, the Mattie Dixon Community Cupboard. Ramp Riot’s success would not have been possible without the hard work of our students, parents, volunteers, sponsors, and partner organizations.

We’d like to congratulate all of the teams listed below, as well as thank the sponsors, organizations, and individuals to which we owe the utmost gratitude!IMG_5675
