Beach Blitz 2021 | Nov 5-7 | Southern California

[Pauline_Tasci]

The Beach Blitz planning committee along with Team 3309, Team 3476, Team 4276, and the Orange County Robotics Alliance (OCRA) are excited to be back to host another fantastic year of Beach Blitz! This year we will be playing the 2020-2021* FRC Game, Infinite Recharge, with some modifications!

When: November 5-7, 2021
Where: Marina High School (Huntington Beach, CA)
Registration: More information on this later this month!
Note: All dates, times, and locations are currently tentative given the dynamic nature of this year.

Beach Blitz is committed to respecting the latest restrictions and guidance from our venue, Orange County, the State of California, and the medical community. Given rapidly changing information, please understand that the linked protocols are subject to change as venue, county, and state guidance evolves. See current protocols at beachblitz.ocra.io/#covid

Our goal is for Beach Blitz to provide the best possible team experience, train the next volunteer force in California, and provide educational opportunities to teams and the local STEM community. You may even see some of your favorite parts of our Virtual Beach Blitz 2020 make their way into Beach Blitz 2021 so teams around the world can stay engaged with the event, stay tuned!

We hope you can join us in November!

You can’t spell Beach Blitz without “lit cheaz BB”!

The norcal volunteer squad is excited to safely social distance our way down to the most lit offseason south of Madera!

Don’t make me jump on the cars as they go by…

I’ll be planning to be there, unless something goes completely haywire.

[Zook]

It’s definitely the best offseason in the greater North Huntington Beach metropolitan area.

We would love to come to this.
Hopefully our State doesnt shut things down again, such as travel out of State for school activities.

@Zook Thanks for update on applicant count. Can you advise if confirmation of application went out to teams? Just want to make sure my submission (Team 6995) was received. Thanks.

[Zook]

I don’t think there is any confirmation of application sent automatically. I can see that 6995 has applied on July 29.

[Pauline_Tasci]

Team apps close tomorrow at midnight! Make sure to apply!

[Zook]

Around 30 apps so far!
Think some volunteer spots still need to be filled as well!
Volunteers need not be from an attending team!
