"We want to know, likeif if you are bocked, are you your weapon?" "And do you know the weaknesses of the other bots? And and none of us have any such expertise. But of course, our crack tem of researchers and producers found the one guy in the universe who knows what's going on here."
Programmed…to kill! On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly sit down with BattleBots’ Ray Billings to discuss combat robots, his killer robot Tombstone, and how to create robotics for competition.
