Jamison Go, Robot Engineer At MIT
Are these the kind of fighting robots that will eliminate humans?
[From article]
The hulking, heavily armed remote control robots that battle to the death, sending sparks, flames, and pieces of metal flying around the ring were the inspiration for a local engineer who recently put his own warrior machine to the test.
It was years ago when a young Jamison Go first saw the fighting robot show “BattleBots” on television that he decided he wanted to become an engineer. More than a decade later, Go is in the midst of a Ph.D. program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had the chance to throw a robot of his own into battle during an appearance on the show last week.

In addition to fulfilling his childhood dream of designing a battle bot, Go said the process of building the machine provided him with a valuable learning experience.
SawBlaze is made up of MIT graduate students, and is just one of at least four teams — including one undergraduate team — affiliated with the school.
Only one team, Overhaul, has advanced in the tournament. That fight will air July 21.
