Mechanical engineering major lives robotics on BattleBots
Spartan Engineer Ellie Clark has just returned from filming BattleBots, Season 7 - a dream come true for the mechanical engineering major.
“The best 50 teams from across the world build and compete with 250-pound combat robots during filming,” Clark said.
“I started robotics in the third grade and haven't stopped. I remember watching BattleBots as a young girl, looking up to the builders as role models. Now I am one,” she continued. “Never stop believing in your dreams.”
Clark is actively involved in MSU. She is the president of the MSU Competitive Robotics Team and serves as both an ambassador for MSU Women in Engineering and as a campus tour guide. The ME major has a concentration in biomedical engineering and is scheduled to graduate in Spring 2024.
She said the BattleBots episodes just filmed in Las Vegas will broadcast on the Discovery Channel early in 2023.
