King of Bots!), the Coopers run Robo Challenge, a studio that makes robots, and other cool things, for TV shows, commercials and promotional campaigns. They’ve built things for everything from the Abu Dhabi Royal Family to Xbox, notably an inflatable ball that someone used to run across the Irish Sea, one piece of a scary attraction at a popular theme park in England, and a bunch of robots seen on British TV shows like The Gadget Show. Combat robotics fans know them for their extensive work on the reboot of Robot Wars, where they built the House Robots, helped design the arena and rulebook, and ran the technical side of the house during filming. They built the devastatingly effective bots Spectre (winner of King of Bots Season 1) and Quantum, which advanced to the Top 16 in its rookie season on BattleBots. Among builders, Team Robo Challenge is widely regarded as among the best designers in the sport. In 2019, the builders themselves awarded Quantum a Giant Bolt for Best Design.

They discussed how to think about it in terms of the different types of radiculopathies and radiculitis. What causes it and how it is diagnosed. How to treat it and how to prevent it. Dr. Cooper and Dr. Meyler discussed the biomechanics of why therapy is important and how they utilize it, the ergonomics of daily life and computer use, and some of the interventional aspects of getting better with injections and potentially surgery. The podcast runs about an hour and twenty minutes so if this is a topic that you're interested in, you will get a lot of this deep dive into cervical radiculopathy.
Join us for our first Princeton Spine & Joint Center Podcast with host Grant Cooper, M.D. and special guest Zinovy Meyler, D.O. as they take a deep dive into the topic of facet join pain. "We just finished our first podcast here at Princeton Spine & Joint Center. It was a really good conversation with my good friend and colleague, Dr. Zinovy Meyler. We really got into the weeds talking about facet joint pain. We talked about what kinds of things you expect to see on history and physical examination, how you diagnose for facet joint pain, the common types of nonsurgical treatment for facet joint pain in the most conservative ways. We we really got into an in depth conversation about radio frequency rhizotomy, which is a particular kind of treatment which you'll hear about in the podcast." ~ Grant Cooper, M.D.
Join us for our second Princeton Spine & Joint Center Podcast with host Grant Cooper, M.D. and special guest Scott Curtis, D.O. as they take a deep dive into the topic of knee meniscus. "We just finished our second podcast. I was talking with my friend and colleague, Dr. Scott Curtis, about the knee meniscus. We talked about how someone with knee meniscus pain would present, how a person with a meniscus pain gets worked up, what treatments are appropriate, both nonsurgical, and we had a good discussion of surgical as well. The imaging findings that you expect with meniscus and the limitation of some of those imaging findings. Bottom line is that if you have meniscus pain or interested in meniscus pain, then this is going to be a very interesting podcast to listen to or watch if you have the video. If you don't have meniscus pain and have no interest in meniscus pain, this would be a good one to skip. But if you do, then I hope you will enjoy it." ~ Grant Cooper, M.D.
