October Preview: NHRL Predictions and Skorpios Joins the Fight

In this episode, we welcome veteran builder and BattleBots driver Zach Lytle, the mind behind Skorpios and founder of Bot Bash, a hands-on educational robotics program that teaches kids engineering through real robot demos and engagement. Zach shares his journey from BattleBots to Bot Bash and walks us through what it takes to compete, teach, and grow the next generation of builders.

We kick things off with Ryan’s Game Corner, featuring a pumpkin spice-themed trivia challenge that spirals into total seasonal chaos. Then we dive into predictions for the upcoming NHRL World Championship qualifier, share insights on standout bots across weight classes, and discuss what makes NHRL such a unique competition environment.

Zach also opens up about his latest bot H-Bomb, what excites him about entering NHRL for the first time, and the importance of community support in combat robotics, from LEGO bots to 250-pound monsters.
