Welcome back everyone, ourselves included, to the RoboCast! Today, we visit Bristol to see what kinds of mayhem the beetleweights are cooking up in February's BBB Beetle Brawl hosted by Bristol Bot Builders.
This episode may be a slightly different spin on our usual fight-by-fight review format; instead, we three chose nine robots and builders to discuss what we like about their machines and how the event went for each.
Joining us today to cover this event is BBB crew member and captain of Two-Headed Death Flamingo, Craig Croucher, who we thank for blessing us with aggressive pink. 🦩
We hope you enjoy it! Oh and before I forget, here are links to the event recording.
