Paige Clayfield on Jelly Baby, Control Bots & October Highlights

In this episode, we’re joined by Paige Clayfield, builder of Jelly Baby—one of NHRL’s most feared and consistent 3-pound control bots. Coming off her second dumpster win of the season, Paige walks us through the October 4th qualifier, the evolution of Jelly Baby’s design, and what it takes to dominate a division known for explosive spinners and fast turnarounds.

We also dive into a full recap of the October NHRL event, including standout performances in the 30-pound and 12-pound brackets, emotional moments from Maximizer, and the cage-breaking clash between Ares and Deadrise.

The episode opens with another chaotic edition of Ryan’s Game Corner, where the crew (with Paige’s help) struggles to guess the media references behind robot names—and slowly loses their minds in the process.

Later, we talk shop about forks, foam, floppy armor, and the power of orange juice. Paige shares advice for aspiring builders, reveals her dream matchup, and discusses the community-driven spirit that keeps her coming back to the box.
