NHRL returns with a weekend doubleheader! Two events across two days. [[Shreddit Bro]] defeats [[Silent X]] in the final to win its first dumpster for the Saturday event. We also get some 12lb Sportsman action, with P12, Keystone Light, and Torquedo fighting for bragging rights. |

This is also the first appearance of [[Brett the Brick|Brett's]] current form, with a custom steel frame instead of a cinderblock. Too many 3lb bots proved to be able to damage a cinderblock! |
