Alex has been steadily honing Pinevictus all year. Though Pinevictus has been around since November 2021 during his days at UMD as a Leatherback, 2025 is the year where the robot has been on a meteoric rise.

After designing and debuting a new version only two weeks out from Finals, it was a gamble that paid off to win the distinguished Golden Brett at the NHRL World Finals!

Tensión militar, traiciones y arena. La jugada maestra de Juan Carlos. Dos historias militares que, en 1975, dejaron España con el pulso acelerado y el alma en vilo. La de la UMD, un puñado de oficiales valientes que decidió que la democracia no se iba a defender sola. Y se jugaron la carrera, la libertad y la vida por intentar sacar al Ejército del siglo XIX. Y la de la Marcha Verde, un movimiento masivo con el que Marruecos forzó la salida española del Sáhara. Entre negociaciones opacas, estrategias cuestionables, cálculos políticos y geopolítica convertida en un puñetazo de realidad, un territorio cambió de manos mientras el mundo miraba para otro lado. En este extra, David Botello (@DavidBotello4), Esther Sánchez (@estesan1969) y Ainara Ariztoy, nos hablan de militares clandestinos, diplomacia al límite y un territorio que todavía hoy reclama justicia. Si quieres acompañarlos, ¡súbete a la Historia!
