Green Square Talks Battlebots: Proving Grounds Review Pt 1 (w/ Banshee and Doom)
9Hey everyone, podcasts have returned and this is the first one on Battlebots Proving Grounds! Inspired by the Newcomer podcasts that happened prior to the recent season, I got the opportunity to meet with multiple teams to talk about the robot they look to bring (or bring back in some cases) to Battlebots, recap the matches their robot has had in Proving Grounds so far and more! Teams that joined me for Part 1 of this includes David Small of Banshee and Alejandro Pina of Doom! Dottie and Zassa both joined me for this one to ask questions of their own to the builders!
It was so much fun to hear how Proving Grounds helped Banshee test out all the upgrades they made to improve the robot from what we saw in WC7. It was inspiring to hear the story for how the team behind Doom got started with combat robotics and how the fight with Samurai, Robogames and Proving Grounds all helped them gather experience in the sport, learn about their robot and make upgrades that has made their robot better!
