This week on the podcast, our panel discussion with top BattleBots designers Orion Beach (HiJinx and Skorpios), Leanne Cushing (Valkyrie), Emmanuel Carrillo (MadCatter, Cat King and WAR Hawk), Isaak Malers (Malice) and Ellis Ware (Pulsar, Magnatar, Great White, Sandstorm).

We filmed the panel before a live (virtual!) audience at Maker Faire Miami, and took tons of questions from fans. It was a lot of fun, and we’re looking forward to hosting more BattleBots panels in the future.
