Summer Series Ep5: Inside UaiRrior, Brazil’s Combat Robotics Titans

In this episode of our Around the World summer series, we travel to Brazil to explore one of the most decorated and innovative combat robotics teams in the world: UaiRrior Robotics, builders of the legendary heavyweight Black Dragon.

We sit down with Pedro Paulo and Leonardo Labegalini from UaiRrior to talk about what makes Brazilian bots so resilient, how they’ve built a high-performance team from the ground up, and the unique role that universities play in keeping Brazil’s combat robotics scene thriving. From handmade electronics to homemade rivalries (complete with team fight songs), this is a deep dive into a community fueled by passion, precision, and a whole lot of heart.

We also discuss the rise of micro hockey bots, the challenges of sourcing materials in Brazil, and how the UaiRrior team manages to remain one of the most feared—and beloved—forces on the global stage.
