In this exciting episode of The Havoc Rundown, Justin
and the team dive headfirst into the world of combat robotics! Special guest
Brian Boxell, creator and driver of the formidable robot Eruption,
shares his journey from WPI student to competitive builder and event host.
Alongside co-hosts Ryan, Ashley, and Thomas, Brian reflects on his evolution as
a builder, the lessons learned from countless iterations of his robots, and the
unique challenges of hosting Boxelmania. The conversation covers the
origins of Eruption and its transformation into a top contender, how Brian's
father joined the combat robotics scene with his robot Caldera, and
