Motorama Robot Conflict 2012 Event Report
It's pretty amazing that this event has been going for 10 years strong already. The competition was just as intense as it is every year. Once the bots go into the box, some may be going home in box and one will be named champion.

Thanks to everyone involved for another great Motorama!

Thanks to Brad and Motorama for having us back and their continued support to put on a great event!
Brian and family - Arena delivery - it's a long haul from MA every year.
Ed, Beth, and Gina - Brackets and making sure the event goes smoothly..
Jim Iocca- Registration coordinator.
John "Anarchy Dude" Durand - announcing and mxing music throughout the event.
Al Kindle - Trophies and helping prep the arena.
John Wolan - Videographer and floor painting

All the judges - There were quite a few in rotation. Thanks to all who took the time to sit down for awhile.
Arena setup and teardown: Thanks to everyone that showed up early to get some much needed areana repairs and maintenance done during the setup. And much thanks to all that stay after to help tear down and clean up...long after their bots have been eliminated.
All The Competitors - We say it every time...these events don't exist without your support. It's great to see old faces return and even better when new builders are hooked on the sport as much as we are.

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:
