This is also the first appearance of 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!

  • Our first 12lb full-combat and 30lb fights, in our brand-new 256-square-foot arena.
  • Debut of Fluffy, our 300lb+ house bot patrolling the 30lb arena.
  • Two 3lb cages, to allow for less downtime between fights.
  • Debut of 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.
