2019: DESTINATION: DEEP SPACE
On November 2-3, 2019, Team 341 hosted its 20th annual off-season robotics competition, Ramp Riot. We hosted 43 teams from 3 different states and expanded our competition from 1-day to 2 days! The weekend was an amazing success. We had a drone/rc plane club demonstrate, a time trial “Space Race” fun tournament, the WHS marching band, a team social, a Team 341 alumni reunion, and the Phillie Phanatic. Ramp Riot would not have run as smoothly as it did without the hard work and dedication of all of our students, parents, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, and partner organizations!
Below are just some of the incredible results and a list of sponsors, organizations, and individuals to which we are grateful. There are also a few pictures attached. Please take a moment to read the list of appreciations and reflect upon all of the help that we receive.
There are some amazing videos our students worked on that you might also want to check out:
