DEWBOT XI Ramp Riot
Hosted by team 341 (Miss Daisy) at Wissahickon High School in Ambler PA. Team 1640 has participated at Ramp Riot every year of its existence.
When we realized that our D-Town Dustoff FLL Scrimmage would necessarily fall on top of Ramp Riot, I told the team that we would need to 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.
