The Balance Between Fun and Function: Our Interview with Lock-Jaw Captain Donald Hutson

This week on the podcast, we catch up with Lock-Jaw captain Donald Hutson, a combat robotics veteran who’s competed on every season of BattleBots to date, and holds 6 Giant Nuts (and one Giant Bolt!). We get his take on how the competition has changed over time, and what he’s looking forward to in the season ahead.
