This week on the podcast, we’re diving deep into all things Kraken with one of our favorite builders of all time, Kraken captain Matt Spurk! This week, Matt made the surprise announcement that he plans to retire his very popular fire-breathing crusher bot and return to the competition with something new. We try as hard as we can to get him to talk about what’s next.

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up again with Kyle Miller, captain of the surprisingly effective rookie bot Glitch. Glitch went undefeated in the qualifying rounds during Season 6 of BattleBots, but had to drop out of the Championship at the last minute after they couldn’t get their bot in fighting shape to take on Witch Doctor. This past week (spoilers!) they *again* went undefeated on their episode of BattleBots Champions, sending themselves into the final round of Champions with a 7-0 (!) career record. We break it down with Kyle. This week’s interview is brought to you by MaxAmps and their new line of “Max Combat” batteries. These battle-ready batteries are available for 1-, 3-, 12-, and 30-pound bots and feature a custom wrap with your team’s logo, internal hard skins for extra protection, and puncture resistant wire sleeves.

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up again with one of our favorite builders of all time, Deep Six captain Dustin Esswein! Dustin’s design philosophy is simple — weapons first, everything else is secondary. You see that ethos on display with Deep Six (they made a rule change inspired by the bot!) and more recently, Depth Charge at Norwalk Havoc Robot League (it broke the box!) We break down Deep Six’s performance in this episode of BattleBots Champions, and ask him what’s next for his bot-building career.
