Here's the results of our 1999 event! The quality of all the robots were excellent, and the competition was fast and furious!  We were pleased to see a real increase in the level of sophistication of the robots and the largest number of fire fighting robots yet!

A Special mention goes to Steve Larson ( Nova Wireless ) for his excellent ( and our only ) entry in the Atomic Hockey competition this year!  Kudo's Steve!

We would also like to thank ALL of OUR SPONSORS!   This year we were able to offer over $6000 in prizes!
