Hosted by team 341 (Miss Daisy) at Wissahickon High School in Ambler PA.
When we realized that our D-Town Dustoff FLL Scrimmage would necessarily fall on the same day as Ramp Riot, I told the team that we would need to regretfully bow out of Ramp Riot. I immediately faced a revolt; Ramp Riot is the only event that the team has participated in every year of existence. Ramp Riot was also my personal introduction to competitive robotics when I brought my eldest daughter in 2005.
So we needed to be in two places at once. Neat trick. We picked a small, focused team to compete. Six students and three mentors. The students ran the show.
We went to Ramp Riot with a Coach and Operator experiencing their first competition as drive team members, and a human player experiencing his second competition in this role. Only our driver and two pit students were experienced veterans.
How did we do? Really well. We ended up as 1st seed and led the 1st alliance. A huge shout out to alliance partners 1218 (Vulcan Robotics), 1626 (Falcon Robotics) and 1712We didn't win, but did very will in the quarterfinals. A great last competition for DEWBOT XI.
