Beantown Blitz is an informal post-season tournament held every year at Revere High School by FRC Team 125, the Nutrons. This is a fun event because everyone gets to participate on their FRC team's drive team, including mentors, who get their own matches during lunch! For the past two years the LigerBots have entered both their primary and secondary robots in the competition. This year both robots, Daedalus and Icarus, made it to the playoffs.

Alliance selection. Both Icarus and Daedalus made it to the playoffs, as captains of the 4th and 7th alliances
Postseason events like Beantown are informal, so everyone on the team has a chance to do some headscratching as they participate on the drive team.
