Beach Blitz 2016 Details

[Andrew_L]

This event was truly spectacular, and was easily one of the best California robotics events to have ever been run (and that includes regionals). For what felt like a district event but better, run by a volunteer staff with an average age of 25, it was inspiring to see how much teams could enjoy a high quality event for such little cost.

My favorite aspect about this event, however, was how well they treated their volunteers. When it comes to treating people right, this event "gets it". Everyone felt like their contribution mattered, and everyone was treated with equal respect. Beach Blitz is going to be bigger and better in 2017, and I cannot wait to be a part of it again.

How do you know what a district event feels like?

All elimination matches are up on our YouTube playlist!

The videos have been submitted to TBA so should be up fairly soon.

Edit: We know that YouTube may be blocking a match or two in some countries because of music and are working on a fix

Is there a chance that the qualification match videos will be posted eventually? I appreciate the effort that goes into editing and posting match videos. This event generated a number of exciting qualifiers. Crossing fingers. Thank you!

There are no plans to post separate qualifying match footage on Youtube, but the full live stream can be found on Periscope and Twitch. There you can find all matches played.

The video exists, in very large blocks. I'm not sure if there is a plan to cut it up and upload individual videos.

I'll forward the request to our video guys.

Were the Beach Blitz workshops recorded by chance? I had missed one of the workshops I was hoping to attend and was wondering if I could view them somewhere.

I've been to a couple MAR events and this beat the ones I've been to, specifically the facility. I think volunteer wise it was comparable.
