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's current form, with a custom steel frame instead of a cinderblock. Too many 3lb bots proved to be able to damage a cinderblock!

  • 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.

Weight classes:

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.
