9/8/2008  SECR-FL Returns to Gainesville with Robot Event 
SECR-FL is proud to announce it's triumphant return to Gainesville Florida. We're nearing completion of a brand new arena capable of handling 30 pound robots. We've completely rebuilt the "hate crate" arena from the Farm Fight event oh so many years ago. The new arena offers a 16'x16' fighting surface, fully enclosed, top-notched fighting venue. Flame and gas powered weapons are allowed and highly-encouraged. We will also have the 8'x8' insect arena for the bots up to 3 pounds. What? Two arenas? OMG! Yes, it's totally true. The proposed event date is November 15th, 2008. Event entry fees will be $5 for insect bots, $10 for the 12's and 30's. Please come join us for some good old-fashioned Southern hospitality and robot mayhem. Details will be posted soon at www.buildersdb.com.

6/21/2008  WBX-V postponed until July 2009 
It was foreseen that either this year or next years event would not take place to allow the construction of our residential home. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on ones perspective), plans for the construction of a new home have been accelerated, and construction of the house will begin this summer. Obviously, an attempt to construct a new home and prepare for an event at the same time would be a huge undertaking. So it is that this years 5th anniversary event has been canceled.
