Make sure there is a mentors match, and make it count toward the standings, unlike last year. It truly is one of my favorite parts of BTB. Also, something else to consider, Human Overdrive

Mentor matches will still be there, however I think we are going to stick with keeping them separate and awarding the teams that win them separately.

Can't wait

[Brandon Holley]

Stay tuned for the 2008 Beantown Blitz's Rule Changes...coming soon

[Elgin Clock]

Any specific volunteer positions still open?
I'm still trying to decide between BTB & Monty this year.

[andrew348]

Will 1519's 2nd Config fill the open spot if it is still open?

Elgin, I'm sure we can put you somewhere if you want to make the trip (and cmon man, represent the new england)

1519s 2nd bot may fill the open slot, however we would prefer to give it to another team if they are willing to come. Stay tuned for what happens. We have had 8 teams cancel on us so we are trying to fill in as many different teams as we can.`

[Brandon Holley]

Ladies and Gentlemen we are only 16 days away from the 2008 Beantown Blitz, we currently have 37 teams coming, which leaves 1 spot open if a team wants to step up and come, we highly suggest you do, it is a great time.
