Behind the Bots

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with one of our absolute favorite people on Planet Earth — Pete Abrahamson! Pete joins us to talk Season 6, the Round of 32, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons, and much more! Pete is fantastic, brutally honest, and gives us his insights on the state of the sport in 2022.

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.
