With over thirty years experience in engineering and thermal management, Chris knows how to keep things cool…

Given theRobot Warsarena is full of spikes, flippers and circular saws, is overheating really the biggest concern?

That said, overheating isnt just about flamethrowers and fire pits.

What are this years roboteers doing to keep their machines cool?

What advice can you give to future contestants to help them survive in the next series?

First, they should think about thermal management from the outset.

If you have access to thermal simulation software to test this out, even better.

If not, perhaps consider developing some basic prototypes to try on top of a barbecue.

Dr Chris Aldham, thank you very much!
