Welcome to Ridge View Academy
Roger Allott of Ridge View Academy’s Community Advisory Board had a bold vision years ago, that the young men of Ridge View Academy could compete with the world’s best in the field of competitive robotics. Through Roger’s vision was created Team 1583 and the founding of Ridge View Academy’s Rambotics program. The team recently completed their seventh year of competition, capping the season with an appearance at the Robotic World Championships in St. Louis. Approximately 400 of the world’s best robotics teams from all corners of the globe qualified for the World Championships. The Rams came into the competition a heavy underdog, but halfway through the competition found themselves ranked 6th in the overall standings, and the 2nd highest ranked team from the United States. A string of bad luck would drop the Rams into a tie for 30th in the overall standings, putting them just outside the 24 team cutoff for the finals.
Despite the near miss in qualifying for the finals, the rams were more than pleased with their 30th place finish. The success of the Rambotics Team 1583 can be traced back to the vision of Roger Allott, and though Roger is no longer with us his memory lives on in each and every robot that leaves the Rambotics shop, as the name “Roger” is painted on the side of every robot. Rambotics must thank their mentors who donate countless hours and money of their own to ensure the success of Rambotics; they include Chuck Brant, Adam Bryant, and John Pituch. In addition Rambotics must thank Jerry Adamek and the Community Advisory Board for their continued support and their sponsors Raytheon, Interactive Intelligence, and JCPenny for believing in the underdogs.
