“Throughout the weekend, we had technical issues that stopped Mad Dog from reaching its fullest potential, but this was our first initial test, so this was somewhat expected,” said Nick Lipcsik (’24, ME), team president. The team sent Mad Dog into battle for the first time since it began meeting in October 2019 with aspirations of appearing in the 2021 season of Discovery Channel’s “BattleBots.” Although the team fell short of its goal, it did get to compete against two teams featured on the show and two other bots during Robot Ruckus.
