So many firsts!
* Our first event at our [[NHRL Facilities|new, larger, dedicated facility at 165 Water St]].
* Our first 12lb full-combat and 30lb fights, in our brand-new 256-square-foot arena.
* Debut of [[House Bots|Fluffy]], our 300lb+ house bot patrolling the 30lb arena.
* Two 3lb cages, to allow for less downtime between fights.
* Debut of [[House Bots|Bert]], Brett's long-lost twin brother, patrolling the new 3lb arena.

A multibot wins for the first time at NHRL, as [[Caulk]], a collection of 3lb bots fighting in the 12lb class, shocks everyone by winning the Dumpster.

Also, Brett is turned off in a match for the first time, as [[Judge's Dream]] launches [[Fragment]] into Brett's power switch. Fragment wins $1000 and the match; however, Fragment's driver graciously forfeited the match, giving Judge's Dream the win.
