Attention students!
Ever wonder what it’s like to be on the other side of a judge interview? Now’s your chance to find out, and get a unique perspective on awards! This year’s Blitz will hold it’s second annual Student Judge Panel! Students will be guided through the judging process with NE FIRST Judge Advisors and several judges. This is a great way for students to get an inside look at what goes on behind the blue polos. Sign up now, we have 14 available judge positions for any student on any team! Sign-up here! -Brando |
Re: Beantown Blitz 2016
Will there be any rule modifications at Beantown? Battlecry had some great ones and it really changed the game. If there were rule changes when would they be announced?

We're psyched to go to Beantown Blitz, but has a schedule been decided yet? (There doesn't seem to be a lot of information available...)

Re: Beantown Blitz 2016
Just want to remind folks we're running student judges and still have a few slots available. This judge room will be using different awards but similar process, timing, and training to that used at official events.

Re: Beantown Blitz 2016
Is this event open for people to go to and watch from the stands or is it only open for the teams that have registered and the people affiliated with those teams? I was thinking of coming down and watching this event as it seems like a whole lot of fun.

Rule Updates: 1. 3.1.4 Tower Strength = 10 for all matches. 2. 5.5.10 - In QUALIFICATIONS - Defenses will be randomly selected / placed per the details below, and matched on each side of the field. The placement will be defined in advance and will change every 10-12 matches to match the robot cycles. There will be no Audience Selection of Defenses. A. Cheval de Frise B. Ramparts or Moat C. Sally Port D. Rough Terrain or Rock Wall E. Low Bar (Always in play and in position 1.) 3. 5.5.10 - In ELIMINATIONS - Defenses will be selected by the opposing alliance (Category and Placement, except Low Bar) per the categories below. There will be no Audience Selection of Defenses. A. Cheval de Frise B. Ramparts or Moat C. Sally Port D. Rough Terrain or Rock Wall 4. The "Golden Boulder" - The ALLIANCE with the highest score directly following the end of the AUTONOMOUS period will be granted a GOLDEN BOULDER. The GOLDEN BOULDER will be placed into the human player station of the higher autonomous scoring alliance. In the event of a tie coming out of AUTONOMOUS mode, each ALLIANCE will be given a GOLDEN BOULDER. This GOLDEN BOULDER will be worth 2x the point value of a normal BOULDER. 4 points for every LOW GOAL scored and 10 points for every HIGH GOAL scored. Each GOLDEN BOULDER scored will do -1 DAMAGE to the TOWER. The GOLDEN BOULDER can be scored indefinitely throughout the match. The GOLDEN BOULDER counts as a normal BOULDER in a driver station. Meaning, an ALLIANCE must not have more than a total of 6 BOULDERS and GOLDEN BOULDERS in their station at anytime. 5. G38 Clarification - Driving over or getting stuck on a boulder while holding another bolder will not be a violation of G38. 6. G13 Exception – G13 Applies, however, AFTER a robot has fully crossed a defense and returned to the midline, a robot may cross the midline with no foul and contact with an opposing alliance robot will not be an additional foul. Any questions can be sent to myself or Brando here or at nutrons@gmail.com We look forward to seeing everyone Saturday! |

It does not add any strength to the tower. |

The wording of this sentence had lead me to think that that the tower would take -1 damage for each golden boulder scored, increasing its health by 1. Thanks for clarifying. -Ahad |
Re: Beantown Blitz 2016
Is there any chance there would be a practice goal set up somewhere near the pits?

Re: Beantown Blitz 2016

Re: Beantown Blitz 2016
Kudos to the Nutrons for putting on a great event. And high praise for bowing out of the alliance selection when there were only 25 teams! Definitely a prime display of GP.
