I do know that GUS (228) is not attending and Buzz (175) is going. I'll call the powers that be to post an up to date list.

Unfortunately our robot was damaged too much during the Championships to be able to compete this year at Beantown. But hopefully everything will be back in working order for Battlecry!

BTW, on the list of team attending, the Gael Hawks (team 230) are from Shelton, CT, not Newington, CT.

Bah, I wish I could go..

But apparently the schedulers of my senior prom did not agree with me.

Hey, you forgot the hosts, team 125!

And attending teams, get ready for the Mentor's Match! From the BTB website:

The 2006 Beantown Blitz has an exciting new event! This year we will feature a Mentor's Match. In this match, we would like to see drive teams consisting of two mentors and a mentor as the human player.

We all know that the mentors work hard behind the scenes, but this will give them a chance to show their stuff on the field. We would also like to give a high school student a chance at role reversal by coaching this match.

The Mentor's Match will take place after lunch and will count towards the final standings, so put your best mentors forward!

Urg, I had to miss this because I have had a stomach flu for two weeks and just couldn't make it. Someone please give me an update as soon as you can!

I've got to say that once again, Beantown Blitz rocked. Especially the mentor matches. A couple humorous moments happened during those.

And of course, the many laughs that were had over the sizes of the ever shrinking flags I kept handing to the teams during the queuing process.
