Every year both the rules and the arena design changes, both to keep things fresh for viewers and to discourage teams from converging on very similar optimized designs over time. My team is Raptor, and our robot is Ghost Raptor, a veteran of many battles from earlier seasons of the BattleBots show, which is currently running on the Discovery Channel in the United States.Ĭaptained by Chuck Pitzer, principal engineer at Fetch Robotics, and with Eric Diehr, Xo Wang, Sabri Sansoy, and myself, our team's first task was to decide how to upgrade Ghost Raptor. eastern, but the road to the arena began months before the contest began filming in Las Vegas last autumn.
So when I got invited to help update a robot designed to kill other robots in a televised death-match arena, I thought: Oki-doki, that sounds like a chance to do something different. As a fashiontech designer, I spend a lot of time making sure my designs are safe, whether it's a robotic spider dress or a prosthetic leg with a built-in Tesla coil and spark gaps.
