Amazon Re:MARS Recap with HyperShock’s Alex Bales and Her Husband Will

This week on the podcast, we’re headed to Las Vegas, where BattleBots just wrapped up a special one-day tournament, sponsored by the Amazon Re:MARS conference. Eight bots faced off, in hopes of taking home a Giant Bolt. In the end, it was HyperShock, which went undefeated in the bracket, led by rookie driver Alex Bales.

Her husband Will was busy filling in for Kenny Florian, giving him a front-row seat to his wife’s fights. We’re sitting down with Will and Alex to get a full breakdown of the event, and what this win means for the team going forward.

This week’s interview is brought to you by MaxAmps and their new line of “Max Combat” batteries. These battle-ready batteries are available for 1-, 3-, 12-, and 30-pound bots and feature a custom wrap with your team’s logo, internal hard skins for extra protection, and puncture resistant wire sleeves.
