About this episode

Dima Papasian discusses her journey in robot combat and her experiences as a driver and commentator.

Dima has launched onto the scene over the past year with her brother Julian as one of the most dynamic siblings at NHRL! First piloting the very kindly Turbofriend before helming the lethal TurboFIEND to a golden dumpster in October 2024, Dima has proven a very capable robot driver whose quick reactions and skills remain on display throughout the northeast robot scene. With a pedigree of professional gaming and now as a robot combat commentator Dima’s dynamism only grows!
