This week on the podcast, we’re interviewing HotLeafJuice captain and SawBlaze team member Lucy Du! Lucy is a mechanical engineer who got her bachelors and masters degrees at MIT, and went to work for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory before returning to MIT to earn her PhD. Her research currently focuses on the field of Biomechatronics, which studies ways to merge people with machines.
Combat robotics fans know Lucy for HotLeafJuice, a 12-pound undercutter that she built last year and dominated with at Norwalk Havoc, taking home two first-place finishes in qualifiers before winning the Golden Brett and $12-thousand dollars cash at the Norwalk Havoc Finals in December. She’s competed on every season of BattleBots to date — starting with the legendary Team JACD in 2015, and helping launch Team SawBlaze the following year
This week’s interview is brought to you by MaxAmps and their new line of “Max Combat” batteries. These battle-ready batteries are available for 1-, 3-, 12-, and 30-pound bots and feature a custom wrap with your team’s logo, internal hard skins for extra protection, and puncture resistant wire sleeves.
