Everyone's favorite time of the year is almost upon us! The 2011 Beantown Blitz is only a month and a half away!

When? June 4th, 2011
Where? Matthews Arena, Northeastern University, Boston MA

The Blitz is one of funnest and largest off-season events in the New England area! Last year we attracted 40 teams from around New England and the Mid-Atlantic states to Boston for a fun day of competition.

Spots are filling up fast at this year's Blitz and we encourage any team who's considering coming to get in touch with us as soon as possible!

Last year teams had the opportunity to participate in several practice matches, play 7 qualification matches each, participate in the mentor tournament and if chosen, to compete in the standard elimination tournament. A professional lighting and audio crew make the event regional-esque, and the massive arena we compete in allows you to drive into the arena and right up to your pit to drop off your robot! (we're not kidding, RIGHT up to your pit!)


Teams interested in learning more about the Blitz, do not hesitate to get in touch with us at beantownblitz @ gmail (dot) com! We're always looking for volunteers as well, so feel free to get in touch with us if you want to help out for the day.
