Summer Series Ep 3: Across the Pond with Robot Rebellion

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the UK’s robot combat scene with two key voices behind Robot Rebellion: event organizer Gareth Anstee and head judge Ryan Bratley. Together with Justin and the Havoc Rundown crew, we explore how Robot Rebellion brings a uniquely British flavor to the sport, how their events have grown through grassroots passion and clever branding, and why their episodic YouTube content is setting a new bar for robot combat storytelling.

We discuss everything from the challenges of venue partnerships to the art of judging fights fairly—and even share some laugh-out-loud moments, like the saga of inflatable bananas and a rogue robot supervisor named Mortis. Plus, Ryan and Gareth drop advice for international builders, cultural differences in robot design philosophy, and which UK bots you need to be watching.

Whether you're a seasoned NHRL fan or curious about the global combat robotics scene, this episode delivers insight, inspiration, and plenty of laughs.

Guests
Gareth Anstee – Founder of Robot Rebellion
Ryan Bratley – Head Judge of Robot Rebellion
