House of NERC 2003 Event Report
Close to 50 bots showed up for this years House of NERC. Instead of being cramped in a hotel, the comp was held at a remote fire house surrounded by corn fields. The battles in the small box were probably the most action Germansville, PA has seen since The Revolutionary War. If all goes well, this may be the new home for many competitions in the future.
