BattleBots S6E8 Recap with Al Kindle and Bunny Sauriol!

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with two of our favorite captains in the sport — Blacksmith captain Al Kindle and Malice captain Bunny Sauriol! This is our first time interviewing two captains at once, and we now kind of love this format? Maybe we should just do this for all episodes going forward, y’all. We think you’re going to love it too — we talk about design, why hammers are terrible and why no one should build them, bullies, pork rolls, and the origin of Grumpy Al.

 

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. Check them out at maxamps.com
