Tim Hebert Recaps April NHRL: Emotions, Experiments, and Epic Moments

This week on The Havoc Rundown, we’re joined by none other than Tim Hebert—robotics educator, NHRL fan favorite, and the brilliant (and slightly chaotic) mind behind Chubby Unicode. That’s right, not Unicorn—Unicode. Tim talks with us about driving his bot with everything from a dance pad to a drum kit, and how experimental control systems can actually hold their own in the cage.

We break down the April 5th NHRL event with over 150 bots and some of the most emotional and unexpected moments we’ve ever seen—including Chainsaw Kitty’s legendary run. Plus, we dive into some serious fantasy league drama (Dan is running away with it), and the whole crew gets tested in Ryan’s Spelling Bee of Doom.

Later, we put Tim through our Five in Focus deep-dive questions and end the show with our now-iconic Rapid-Fire Build-Off, where bot pitches are built around pure chaos and random word prompts.

Massive thank you to Tim Hebert for joining us, sharing his story, and giving us all a reason to believe a drum kit can be a weapon of mass disruption.
