==History==

===Defcon 12 (2004)===

The first competition was held at Defcon 11 in 2003. The objective was to transport ping pong balls from one corner of an arena to the other. Only Irvine Underground entered a team and they were able to successfully complete the task.

Line 26:

Each year the prizes change, but the real prize is the respect earned. The prizes do not even come close to covering the cost of building the bot.

Since Defcon 1614, the prize includes Black Badge, which gives lifetime unlimited entry to all future Defcons.
