I'd love to see more of thes events. How many years are we away from this being an olympic sport? You know? Know? I mean, it's for, it's its on ta. It is definitely an international spork. The there people from all over compete. They have local events all over the world. And then we have a lot of international competitors that come to battle bots. So where we're already there that there's this international draw and flare to it.
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.
