Battling robots for entertainment and education, Lisa has been designing, building, and battling robots since she was 10 years old. She’s participated in Robot Wars and BattleBots since the beginning, and has the scars to prove it. Along the way, she’s developed deep insight into how to design robots so that they perform well, are aesthetically appealing, cost-effective, and quick to repair.
