This week on the podcast, we’ve got a returning guest from the earliest days of the pod, RailGun Max captain Elaine Wu! She was on the pod aaaaall the way back in August 2019, just months before the pandemic shut down the globe. In March, she returned to the U.S. for the first time since 2019, to compete at NHRL and visit BattleBots Destruct-a-Thon. We’re catching up with her at the tail end of her two-week trip to learn more about the Chinese combat robotics scene, and get her thoughts on NHRL.
