Inside the BattleBots Arena: Team Skorpios!

We are thrilled to sponsor Skorpios, one of the standout teams in BattleBots. If you’ve seen them in action, you know Skorpios isn’t just another robot—it’s a force. Led by Zachary Lytle, the team has made a name for themselves with their innovative design, tough-as-nails engineering, and relentless determination in the arena.

We saw something special in Skorpios, and it’s not just their fighting spirit. Their approach to building and refining their robot mirrors how we operate at Bishop-Wisecarver®—constantly looking for ways to improve, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and performing under the toughest conditions. We immediately recognized that this was a team we wanted to support.

Skorpios: Built for Battle

What makes Skorpios stand out? It's not just their lethal weapon on top or the strategic hits they deliver during a match. It’s the way the team has engineered their robot to take hit after hit and keep going. Skorpios is designed with precision, balancing speed, power, and durability. Whether they’re up against a high-speed spinner or a bot with a heavy hammer, they find a way to hold their ground and fight back.

At Bishop-Wisecarver®, we see many parallels between what Skorpios does in the arena and what we do in the world of motion solutions. Just like Skorpios, our products are built to perform in harsh environments—whether that’s in robotics or other industrial applications. We know the importance of durability and adaptability, so we’re proud to stand with a team that lives by those same principles.

The People Behind the Bot

Of course, Skorpios is more than just a robot—it’s a team of passionate people constantly working to improve. Zach Lytle and his crew are always in the pits making adjustments, tweaking their design, and thinking about how to tackle the next challenge. This hands-on, never-stop-learning attitude is something we admire.

It’s the same mindset we bring to our work at Bishop-Wisecarver®. Whether we’re helping a customer with a tough project or developing a new product, we’re always looking for ways to improve and evolve. Watching the Skorpios team work is like seeing that same drive in action—and it’s inspiring to see how much dedication goes into each battle.

What’s Next for Skorpios

A couple of months ago, we were thrilled to welcome Skorpios to our facilities, where they collaborated with our engineers to enhance their robot’s capabilities. The team is incorporating our products into their design, pushing their engineering to the next level. This partnership is all about refining performance, and we’re eager to see how these improvements will translate in the arena.

Stay tuned for updates as we follow Skorpios in the Battlebots face-offs. Join us in supporting this incredible team as they take on their next challenge!
