Meet Alex Brown.
🧬By day, he is a PhD researcher in Surgical Robotics at the University of Leeds. By night, a combat robotics champion since age 9 and Driver of the Year.
🏆At GOTF 2025 Abu Dhabi, his Team Toon cracked the top 10 in Battle of Robots, competing against elite teams from Europe, Asia and the Americas.
The prize money? Going toward helping Alex's father Clive retire after 18 years by his side, plus £10,000 raised for cancer research and 78 Ugandan orphans supported.
Oh, and engineering runs in the family: Alex and his mom are descendants of George Stephenson, the "Father of the Railways".
