BattleBots S6 Filming Week Special

This week on the podcast, we’re headed to Las Vegas to catch up with BattleBots superfan Mary Katherine Carr, who is attending every single taping session this season, and touring the pits as a fan. We’re chatting with her after the conclusion of day 1 of filming, where we’ll try to learn as much as we can without violating the show’s NDA.   This week’s combat robotics news: First look at The Shelf: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/p9qyys/the_shelf/ Bite Force takes a stand: https://www.facebook.com/AptyxDesigns/posts/3045278242460265  Blip the launcher: https://www.facebook.com/tantrum.battlebot/posts/1511423839198086  Bounty Hunters medals: https://www.facebook.com/RoboticDeathCompany/posts/1863187640737932  Captain Shrederator’s glamor shots: https://www.facebook.com/spinwinning/posts/4127865830645625  Captain Shrederator poker chips: https://www.facebook.com/spinwinning/posts/4118621538236721  Cobalt’s spin-up test: https://www.facebook.com/RoboticDeathCompany/posts/1863886530668043  Copperhead’s snek: https://www.facebook.com/CausticCreations/posts/491299735509961  Deep Six’s pit banner: https://www.facebook.com/deepsixbattlebot/posts/227878386010969  Defender’s functional test: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=120669256969208&id=101629572206510  Defender’s surprise fire: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=120334137002720&id=101629572206510  Duck’s floating swag: https://www.facebook.com/BlackandBlueRobotics/posts/215256770614592  End Game’s glamour shot: https://www.facebook.com/oyesrobotics/posts/1675918835939138  Free Shipping’s latest rendering: https://www.facebook.com/freeshippingbot/posts/191485679640973  Ghost Raptor’s surprise fire: https://www.facebook.com/realghostraptor/posts/3085772724988332  Gigabyte in the pits: https://www.facebook.com/RoboticDeathCompany/posts/1863885390668157  Gigabyte’s spin-up test: https://www.facebook.com/RoboticDeathCompany/posts/1863887237334639  First look at Glitch: https://www.instagram.com/p/CS5NDkuFztQ/  HiJinx’s glamor shots: https://www.facebook.com/HiJinx.BattleBot/posts/417475863137458  JackPot’s glamor shots: https://www.facebook.com/JackPotBattleBots/posts/331822178640813  JackPot’s spin-up test: https://www.facebook.com/JackPotBattleBots/posts/332353951920969  Kraken looks amazing: https://www.facebook.com/KrakenBattleBot/posts/237778581681760  Lock-Jaw confirmed: https://www.facebook.com/TeamMutantRobots/posts/4584934441518566  Malice’s glamor shots: https://www.facebook.com/malicebattlebot/posts/390533812475494  Mammoth confirmed: https://www.facebook.com/MammothBattlebot/posts/3136247123270335  P1’s roadshow continues: https://www.facebook.com/AberrantRobotics/posts/1027029838129370  Pain Train swag: https://www.facebook.com/PAINTRAINBB/posts/336955258159730  Orby Blade swag: https://www.facebook.com/TeamORBY/posts/797703024230846 First look at Pardon My French: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=353025266525942&id=100054554135468  First look at Riptide: https://www.facebook.com/riptidebattlebot/posts/120007123714583  Riptide weapons test: https://www.facebook.com/riptidebattlebot/posts/117830447265584  Rotator’s glamor shots: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=236422865154944&id=100063616960932  SawBlaze’s S6 sponsors: https://www.facebook.com/SawBlazeBattlebots/posts/222055466594542  Shatter teases new surprise: https://www.facebook.com/BotsFC/posts/236621271800022  Skorpios in the pits: https://youtu.be/ZYataaVuInU  SubZero is confirmed: https://www.facebook.com/SubZeroBattleBot/posts/332535071996885  Switchback team dinner: https://www.facebook.com/switchbackontv/posts/187094240154000  Tombstone’s many bars: https://www.facebook.com/TombstoneBot/posts/230106545787552  First look at Triple Crown: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/p9nl6i/someone_finally_done_did_it_triple_crown/  Valkyrie’s poker chips: https://www.facebook.com/valkyriebattlebot/posts/488391935743844  W
