In honor of National Robotics Week, we’re celebrating what matters most: creating more ways for students and new builders to get started in robotics. That’s why we’re excited about Havoc Academy — a hands-on pathway that helps turn curiosity into real building, problem-solving, and engineering experience. This video features CATTASTROPHE, the first robot modified from ERIC, the Havoc Academy Crash Course Kit. It’s a great reminder that robotics education works best when people can actually build, test, and iterate! #NationalRoboticsWeek #Robotics #STEM #Engineering #WorkforceDevelopment #STEMEducation #NHRL https://lnkd.in/eAjua7CD

It’s National Robotics Week, and one of the things we love most about NHRL is that it creates a pathway from curiosity to high-level engineering. This season update shows how NHRL is expanding opportunities for new builders while raising the bar for elite competition- Pro Tour!!! More access, more learning, more robots. #NationalRoboticsWeek #NHRL #STEMEducation #WorkforceDevelopment #Robotics https://lnkd.in/e4wzNxeG

What if your STEM program was the one kids begged to come back for? Most robotics camps struggle with two problems: - Finding programming that truly excites kids - Needing robotics or computer science experts on staff to run it HAVOC Academy Crash Course solves both! Students build combat robots with laser-cut aluminum, LiPo batteries, and brushed motors—then compete in live tournaments. It's the official youth program of NHRL, the world's premier robot fighting league featured on ESPN Prime Time (800M+ views since Jan). ✅ Proven in after school programs ✅ American-made ✅ Turnkey & reusable: Kits can be used for multiple sessions—your cost per camper drops dramatically after Session 1 ✅ No expertise or programming needed! Summer 2026 spots are filling up. Schedule a meeting or request our full curriculum guide: https://lnkd.in/gzKQnP_q #STEMEducation #SummerCamp #Robotics #CombatRobotics #NHRL #YouthDevelopment #CampDirector

160,000 people streamed Prime Time live. The sport is real. The audience is real. We're just getting warmed up. 🔥 #NHRL #CombatRobotics #PrimeTime #STEMEd #CominginHot https://lnkd.in/gfTP5gmF

The Physical AI industry keeps saying the same thing: "We need messy, real-world robot data. Edge cases. Failure modes. Chaos you can't replicate in a lab." We've been producing exactly that — every single event. Combat robotics isn't just a sport. Every fight is a live stress test. Unpredictable conditions, high-stakes failure, real engineering under pressure. It's already here. Let’s talk. Ken Macken

Celebrating Career Technical Education Month! February is CTE Month, and we're celebrating the educators who inspire the next generation of innovators and makers. At NHRL, we believe in making robotics accessible, fun, and hands-on for everyone. That's why we created Havoc Academy and our ERIC kit. With expert step-by-step guidance, students can build their first fighting robot and discover what they're capable of. Perfect for CTE programs, STEM camps, and anyone ready to create, compete, and repeat! https://lnkd.in/gucZUimH #CTEMonth #STEMEducation #Robotics #NHRL #HavocAcademy

Introducing NHRL Pro Tour! March 2026. The best combat robotics builders compete at the professional level.
