The Underground Is Real (and It Wants Berkeley Engineers):
Hidden warehouses in SF. Overseas humanoid companies test-driving million-dollar robots stateside. Secret late-night invitations sliding into the team president’s DMs:

First rule of Robot Fight Club: THERE ARE NO RULES
Why This Is the Ultimate Career Launchpad
Every exploded bot = a masterclass in rapid prototyping, failure analysis, and not crying in front of 120 teammates.
Every all-nighter welding session at 3 a.m. = resume gold that startups and VC firms are literally fighting over.
Every time Malware flips another robot into the ceiling = another LinkedIn recruiter losing their mind.
Startups. Venture funds. Shadowy humanoid overlords running underground leagues. They’re not waiting for graduation — they’re ringside with contracts and term sheets.
The verdict? The kids who spend college turning robots into fireworks are about to turn the entire robotics industry into their personal playground.
