Beach Blitz - October 8-9 - Huntington Beach, California

[MeGuttieri]

Disneyland isn't far away from Marina HS either!

We'll likely attend. Can I put in a request for the event organizers to be super cool and start this event a little later than the early times that are typical of FIRST events? Like, can we do doors open at 9 instead of 8?

We will put that into consideration, but since we are hosting workshops in the evening, it might be a very hard request to fulfill.

Yeah, I'd like to surf in the morning

Also, for non-local teams, if you're thinking of getting a hotel here is a link to Hotels.com search. LINK

And while October isn't exactly summer anymore, the beaches are usually more empty and the water isn't too cold yet.

What is the cost for this event?

We've left this as 'TBD' for now since it's our first time running the event and our financials will depend in large part on how many teams can attend. We expect to be in line with other events in SoCal, with accommodations for teams who need assistance and can also provide volunteer support.

Do you have a ballpark idea? $200 is a lot different than $500.

Ballpark is $200-$300. If a team brings 2 robots, you also do not pay two registration fees fully.

There will be "scholarships" of sorts for teams who cannot afford to compete but would benefit greatly from attending the offseason.

Cost will be out as soon as possible!
Thank you everyone for working with us to form this offseason.

Can someone leading this event contact me about potential Cooler Master involvement?

We got some ideas...
