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!

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?

Yes we will certainly be modifying the rules a bit. We're in final discussions and will plan on publishing the rule changes by the end of this month!

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...)

[Andrew Schreiber]

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.

We only have a few spots remaining, so we encouraging all teams who are interested and observing from a distance just to let us know you are considering coming. This way we can avoid any last minute turnaways, we want to accommodate everyone.

Team 5813 is looking forward to competing at Beantown Blitz this weekend! See you all there.

BTW, is there any way to find a more finalized teams list (or is it not finished yet?)?

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.
