I am looking forward to hosting all of you.
We are located at 200 Smith Street in Waltham, MA, and there is lots of parking if you are driving your own vehicle. Just head to the southwest corner of the "Post" office complex which will feel like you're driving to the back of the building (past the loading dock), and look for the glass doors under the Boston Dynamics logo. If taking rideshare, they sometimes drop off on the eastern side of the complex under the "Post" sign

which is the wrong location for entering our office, so please direct the driver to drive left around the building to the southwest corner.
Pete and Owen, If anyone else from DOT is joining, I need their name(s) for the visitor list and please remember to bring government-issued photo ID.
Safe travels, Brendan

Pete and Owen,
Rob Hood reached out to me with your request to visit Boston Dynamics. I would be delighted to host you.
I wanted to confirm that your requested time is Friday, May 9th at 2:30 pm and The visit will be approximately one hour. Note that we are located at 200 Smith Street in Waltham, MA, a Boston suburb roughly 25 minutes from downtown Boston depending on traffic. Please bring government-issued ID such as a driver's license, to comply with our US government security agreements. (I know it's Real ID week, but you won't need that. :) We also will have a basic sign in process with an acknowledgement that if you see anything confidential in your tour of the labs you won't reveal it to others.
We have plenty of parking if you are driving your own vehicle. I'll send you more specific directions later in the week. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best, Brendan
