2013 Beantown Blitz - June 1st, 2013

[Brandon Holley]

Hi Everyone!

On behalf of the NUTRONs, Northeastern University, Textron Systems, National Grid and SolidWorks, I am pleased to announce that the 2013 Beantown Blitz has been booked and confirmed.

The event will take place on June 1st, 2013 at Matthews Arena on Northeastern's campus in Boston, MA.

We have made the Blitz bigger and better for now going on 10 years. We have some great ideas to make Blitz even bigger this year and welcome any teams to join us.


More information will be available as we get closer to the event, but for now SAVE THE DATE, and get ready for the BLITZ!

For any questions, please email beantownblitz[AT]gmail[DOT]com and we will get back to you as soon as we can!

See you there!

We're penciling this one in right now. But it's a BIG pencil!

3 weeks to Shakedown! How're the NU-TRONS doing so far?

Hey Everyone!

The Beantown Blitz registration and information website is now LIVE here: http://www.nutrons.com/beantown-blitz/


Registration is now OPEN, and we invite teams to sign up as soon as possible if they want to attend the event. We have had to put teams on a wait list the past several years.

Follow the directions through the registration page and you should be all set.

We're really excited to bring back the Blitz for another fantastic year. We always strive to make the event bigger and better, and of course this year is no exception to that rule.

We will also be opening up a volunteer registration website shortly. I will post back on this thread when that is live.


If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email us at beantownblitz[at]gmail[dot]com.

We will see you at the Blitz!!

It's a google form, so if google docs is blocked at work, you will not be able to access it.

839 has a spot reserved.

Sadly, the Bobcats will be unable to attend. So much for continuing our Beantown winstreak. Have fun!
