Flipper is the new guy on the panel. DEF CON 19 was his first DEF CON, and he was on the team that went on to victory in the Scavenger Hunt. Last year he applied his experience from robotics competitions to survive several days of sleepless insanity. He is back again this year to talk about the whole DEF CON experience from the perspective of a newcomer. His day job finds him being an expert in underwater robotics. Twitter: @NickFlipper
