Our Interview with Jäger Captain Ralf Schneider

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with Ralf Schneider, captain of the European rookie multibot Jäger. The team faced big challenges this season — Ralf’s UK teammates were prevented from traveling to the U.S. due to COVID restrictions, which meant he had to lean on the help of other teams to get into the BattleBox. We learn more about his design ethos, and his journey to the 2021 season of BattleBots (returning Jan. 6 on Discovery Channel!)   This week’s combat robotics news: BattleBots shirts heading to Hot Topic: facebook.com/HiJinx.BattleBot/posts/487388219479555  Robot Wars Shuntposting is launching its annual charity contest: facebook.com/SkorpiosBattleBot/posts/296780079124621  RoboChargers adopts Tantrum + Blip eyes: facebook.com/tantrum.battlebot/posts/1592062431134226  First shot of Duck! in the BattleBox: facebook.com/BlackandBlueRobotics/posts/291844562955812  Team Whyachi auctioning off 2020 Hydra flipper manifold: ebay.com/itm/Hydra-2019-20-Battlebots-Hydraulic-Flipper-Manifold-autographed-by-Team-Whyachi/185206478759 Team Whyachi auctioning off 2020 Hydra chain guard: ebay.com/itm/Hydra-2019-20-Battlebots-Chain-guard-autographed-by-Team-Whyachi/185206512080  Ghost Raptor team interview with sponsor OnShape: facebook.com/realghostraptor/posts/3174705599428377  New Glitch team photo: facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=139468758452579&id=102789288787193  New behind-the-scenes photos from Riptide: facebook.com/riptidebattlebot/posts/148426670872628  Shatter unveils new fight photo against Redacted: facebook.com/BotsFC/posts/312052960923519  New drive test from 2022 Slammo: facebook.com/teamdanby/posts/569342894418911  Tombstone Hexbug unboxing video with Ray Billings: facebook.com/TombstoneBot/posts/309044064560466  Technical T-Rex ugly sweater for sale: facebook.com/witchdrshaman/posts/4217323131705822    Follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/behindthebots Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts Tell a friend about the show; we really appreciate your support!
