To the Friends and Supporters of Team 341

2003 GameThank you for all of your help putting together Ramp Riot 2003, which is now one of the largest and best-attended robotics competitions on the East Coast. For the 4th year in a row we have pulled off a flawless event with many positive outcomes. A special note of thanks goes out to Rohm & Haas, NASA, BAE Systems, FIRST®, Drexel University, Y-100 and our partners the North Montco Technical Career Center.

Here are just a few of the results:

  • 26 Teams representing about 800 students came to the Wissahickon Circle Gym to battle it out in the arena, dance on the sidelines, and contribute to charity.
  • Hundreds more school-age kids from the surrounding area came to watch our event and get excited about Math, Science, and Technology.
  • 1,200 food cans were collected and delivered to the Ambler Community Cupboard while the competition was still in progress.

In all respects it was a great day for the students, schools, sponsors, and the community!! Thank you to everyone that participated. We couldn’t do this without you.
