Summer Series Ep. 1 – Demon Core: Canada’s Melty Brain Mayhem
We’re kicking off our Robots Around the World summer series with a visit to the Great White North! In this episode, we sit down with Team Unforeseen Consequences, the Canadian builders behind the terrifying melty brain robot Demon Core. We talk about how they got started, what makes the Canadian combat robotics scene unique, and how they engineered a 30lb bot that sounds like something out of a sci-fi nightmare.
We dive into their experience at NHRL, their last-minute flight fiascos, the joys of testing terrifying machines in small garages, and how they plan to evolve Demon Core after a strong showing in June. There’s plenty of technical talk, great laughs, and a heated debate about the best poutine in Canada (spoiler: Costco fans, rise up).
Plus, we answer your listener questions, discuss scaling melty brains to larger weight classes, and hear some incredible stories about inspiring the next generation of builders.

The Havoc Rundown
We are a discussion podcast focused on robot combat specializing in events and builders from NHRL in Norwalk CT. Our members include the staff that works behind the pit desk every event acting as the nerve center between the builders and the cage management system. We preview events, talk about fights, interview builders & staff and try to give a peek behind the curtain of what makes an NHRL event work.
