Registration will be open from TODAY (10/9) until 10/23!
THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL, we hope to reach and connect with more communities across the world.
Something exciting this virtual format allows us to do is provide high quality workshops and panels to people across the world from some amazing individuals. The full workshop lineup and schedule will be published this weekend, but you do not want to miss any of them!
If you have any questions please let us know by posting on this thread or emailing us at [email protected]
The students and I already have a few rules clarification questions about the minibot competition:
Per Rule 3.2.2, “Teams may use any motor of choice that falls within cost rules.”
Are we allowed to use rocket motors that fall within the cost rules?
Rule 3.2.1 – 3S Lipos are “rated” for 11.1V but are 12.6V when fully charged. I assume these are allowed? Also, is there a max current limit on the fuses?
Is there a limit to the number of minibots that a single FRC team can compete with?
Thank you for hosting this wonderful opportunity. Is there a limit to the number of teams that can compete? We are interested, but not meeting for a bit so I do not want to sign up until we get a commitment.
But, if we feel we have more teams than we can manage we will explore alternative options. That will fully be communicated to all teams once registration closes October 23.
Regardless of the situation we will find a way to make the event memorable for teams!
A reminder that we needs lots of volunteers* to make Beach Blitz happen! Now that the competition is virtual, we can accept volunteers from any location.
One of the best parts about Beach Blitz is the opportunities we provide to new volunteers and volunteers looking to move into new roles to get experience before official events. If you’re thinking about trying something like judging for the first time, this could be a great opportunity.
* We might need a lot of volunteers. Or maybe we won’t. Still trying to figure out how this pandemic works.
While we are working on finalizing our full workshop and panel lineup, we thought it would be cool to share with everyone a map of currently scheduled presenters.
I am excited to announce our workshop schedule for Beach Blitz 2020! This virtual format has given us the opportunity to hear from people and teams we wouldn’t get a chance to, and we are excited to be able to share all their knowledge with the entire world!
To get Zoom links to the workshops, you must register (for free!)! Please register soon to catch all this great content.
