Our Interview with Rookie BattleBots Captain Kyle Miller with Glitch

This week on the podcast, we’re sitting down with the brand-new team Glitch, built by students from U.C. Berkeley. This absolutely gorgeous robot combines a stealth bomber aesthetic, billet body, omnidirectional wheels and a punishing vertical eggbeater. We learn more about the team and their build process, now that filming of the 2021 season has wrapped.
