Thanks again to everyone involved in putting this event together and to keep NERC and the sport of combat robotics going.

Thanks to Brad and Motorama for having us back again!
Jim Iocca- Registration coordinator.
Al Kindle - DemoBots, prize wrangling.
Brian and family - Arena delivery - without the Benson's this doesn't happen.
Wayne Molnar - Trophies and being fun to harass.
John Wolan - Videographer (Note: And to Ed for actually figuring out how to put the "duck blind" together without assistance).
Beth, Ben, and Gina - Brackets. One of the hardest parts of the process.
Rob Masek and Eric Scott - Judging and poor parking.
Tony Fowlie - Announcing - making things sound exciting even when they weren't.
John "Anarchy Dude" Durand - music and for having the tech-est thing I've seen in awhile...controlling the music over the PA system via iPhone.

Anyone who we made impromptu judges: Dan, Josh, Jim, etc, etc, etc.

Arena setup: Honestly - Friday's are tough to keep track of people at the event. We did notice the McKeown's kicking butt and taking names and wanted to thank them specifically. Thanks guys! Pretty sure the Parson's were involved too. Jim, Josh, anyone else we forgot! Thanks!
Arena teardown: Al, Alan, Brian, Bryan, Team Canada: Jason, Dalton, Pete and Andrew, Josh F., Joe P and, again, anyone I forgot. Feel free to chime in...
All The Competitors - Thanks to everyone that comes out and supports this event. A lot of work goes on before, during and after the arena is packed up until next time. And it couldn't be done without a such a committed group of builders. Thanks.

Big thanks to our VERY generous sponsors, please take the time to reach out to them and thank them for their very generous donations this year:
