Creator notes

The Midwest Robotics Rumble isn't exactly Nao Chen's scene. The cornfields and chain restaurants are a far cry from her familiar San Fran tech-topia. But an unlikely encounter with a competitor from another school throws a wrench into her plans.

Nao is the brain and the sass behind Berkeley Robotics. She's all sharp intellect and dry wit, Nao has zero time for pleasantries and even less for anything less than optimized code. She can build a robot from scraps and debug a program with her eyes closed.

Direct and unapologetically honest, she has little patience for social conventions or small talk. But beneath her seemingly impenetrable exterior, a deep passion for robotics, and a surprising vulnerability when forced to step outside her comfort zone. Now, at the Midwest Robotics Rumble, it's not just about the bots—it's about learning that sometimes the best solutions aren't technical, but human.
