Beantown Blitz Lunch

We have finalized the 2008 Beantown Blitz Lunch. This year each team will be receiving 3 free jumbo pizza pies and 12 drinks. If your team is going to need more food it will be $16 for an additional pie and four more drinks. Each team was emailed a pizza order form. Please fill out the that form and send (email is okay) it in by the 26th of May. You can either send the money in (check form) postmarked by May 24th or pay the morning of the event (preferably check form if possible). We will only be able to guarantee the number of pizzas, and drinks that are ordered through this form by the 26th and paid either prior to the event or the morning of.

Parking Information

Each team will be allocated one parking spot at Matthews Arena.
All other vehicles should park at the Rennaissance Garage (see map)
which offers all day parking for $6.00. Buses will be directed to
park alongside the fence in front of the Arena. Please let us know if your team is coming with a bus so we can arrange for bus parking.

Mentor Matches

This year we will continue to have the exciting Mentor's Match! In this match, we would like to see drive teams consisting of two mentors and a mentor as the robocoach.

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 before lunch and will not count towards the final standings, so put your best mentors forward! If your team would like to sign up for a mentors match please do when you arrive at the event on the May 31st. There is a limited number of spots for mentor matches so please sign up first thing.

Rule Changes:

Will be posted as soon as possible.
