Ryan Clarke / LosT
as LoST
LoST: With a background in mathematics and robotics LosT spends his free time between calculating how to take over the world and building the robots to accomplish it. Deciding to teach others how to create robot overlords, he created the Hardware Hacking Village for the DEF CON community with Russ in an effort to get more people involved with hardware. Fearing competition LosT devised the Mystery Challenge to confuse and confound those who would rise up against him- eventually becoming the creator of the badges to that same end. Really he just wants to juggle and read books these days, or watch MST3K with Tom.

Chris Hurley / Roamer
as Roamer
Roamer is the Senior Goon in charge of the Vendor Area. He has been on DEF CON staff since DEF CON 8. He was the founder of the DEF CON WarDriving contest the first 4 years of it's existence and has also run the slogan contest in the past. Roamer is the lead guitarist in the Goon Band, Recognize (despite what you may read in Gm1's bio). Although having no actual skills his ability to out-drink virtually every Goon and attendee under the table has gained him massive prominence in the scene and elevated him to the lofty station you see him in today.

Flipper
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.
