BattleBots S6E13 Recap with Whiplash Captain Matt Vasquez!

This week on the podcast, we’re recapping an incredible season of Whiplash, with team captain and certified great human being Matt Vasquez! Matt is one of our all-time favorite builders on BattleBots, and we can’t wait to study this season, and learn more about what’s on the horizon. Matt’s also registered for April Norwalk Havoc, so if you’re a Whiplash fan on the East Coast, this is the Norwalk to catch live!   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.
