Rotator’s Victor Soto on Outside of the Box (Ep. 80)

If you're a fan of flashy robots that can also cut you to pieces, you'll love the latest interview with Rotator's Victor Soto! He goes into great detail about everything that led up to that first fight against Hydra and what the team did to fix the issues afterwards. We also talked about his strategy for the upcoming battle against Bloodsport, designing the next version of Rotator and a HUGE personal announcement regarding a new addition to the team. It is all here!

Shatter on Outside of the Box (Ep. 79)

I sat down with Adam and Paul of Bots FC to talk about Shatter (and a little about Emulsifer). We broker down the first two fights of the season and of course chatted about Norwalk where Bots FC is definitely a staple team, most recently winning a championship in December. It was a great discussion so please check it out!

Seems Reasonable on Outside of the Box (Ep. 78)

We talked to Tantrum already this season, but I had to hit the Blip side a little bit too so I talked To Aren, Ginger & Alex together! We touched on the Hydra match, but got more into what Blip has been doing this season including the sibling battle where Blip emerged victorious. Aren also reveals his new robot idea for BattleBots World Championship 8 and the team going out to Norwalk for the March event!

GForce FIRST Robotics Team on Outside of the Box (Ep. 76)

I once again caught up with the amazing girls that are part of G-Force Robotics - a FIRST team from Clayton, NC who are doing amazing things and will absolutely build a BattleBot someday. We previewed their upcoming competition, other events planned for this season and talked about the importance of being great role models in the community and promoting STEM fields.

BattleBots Breakdown WCVII Ep. 10 on Outside of the Box (Ep.77)

I wish that I could just say we don't talk about Bruno.. I mean, Riptide, but Ashley and I had to share our thoughts on this 10th episode as a whole. There were a few highlights such as more dominant performances from Deathroll and Copperhead as well as a very close main event match between Monsoon and Whiplash. Watch as we break down the good, the bad and the ugly before a 2-week BattleBots spring break.

Witch Doctor’s Andrea Gellatly on Outside of the Box (Ep. 75)

If the voodoo of Witch Doctor has gotten you under their spell, then you will definitely want to check out this interview with Andrea Gellatly! We talked about coming off of an amazing BattleBots season getting to the finals of both the Giant Nut and Golden Bolt, the decision to finally go brushless and how rewarding it is to be such an active ambassador for combat robotics. *Noting that this interview was prior to the match versus Gruff.

BattleBots Breakdown WCVII Ep. 8&9 on Outside of the Box (Ep.74)

Hard to believe there were so many judges decisions with the amount of carnage in these two episodes, but Ashley and I talked about all of it! In one episode we had the hammer fight of the century, a dino-riffic debut and a Seems Reasonable sibling squabble and in the other we had SO much PIZZA, an appeal and reversal plus an awesome giant sword. Check it out!

Kraken on Outside of the Box (Ep. 73)

Kraken - I choose you! It is time for one of the most loveable yet deadly bots in BattleBots and I sat down with Matt and Sara Spurk to talk about it. We cover the season so far, the experience of being in Destruct-A-Thon and I suggest a possible Pokemon battle with Mammoth. SO much fun in one episode!
