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.
Hey everyone and yes what you read is true, this really is the final episode with Sam as host of the RoboCast! I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, a massive and heartfelt thank you. The support shown to the pod has been magical over the last 7 and a half years, and I sincerely hope that you show Steve, Jevan & David the same respect and courtesy that you've shown me! It's been an absolute privilege, and hopefully see you round ❤ Get your Two-Headed Death Flamingo tees here: https://shop.bristolbotbuilders.com/product/mingo/ Follow us on Social Media: https://twitter.com/TheRobocast https://www.facebook.com/TheRoboCast My Pages: https://twitter.com/SamElliott64 https://therobocast.podbean.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/SamElliott64 https://twitter.com/2HDFlamingo https://www.facebook.com/2HDFlamingo/ https://www.instagram.com/2hdflamingo/ Steve's Pages: https://www.youtube.com/user/AmericanKilljoy https://twitter.com/AKJofficial Jevan's Pages: https://www.facebook.com/WorldOfWoodrowYouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/WorldofWoodrow https://twitter.com/RoboticWoodrow David's Pages: https://www.youtube.com/c/Davidofsmeg https://www.instagram.com/davidofsmeg https://www.facebook.com/Johtorobotics Don't forget to check BattleBots themselves out online too! https://battlebots.com/ https://twitter.com/BattleBots https://www.facebook.com/battlebots https://www.youtube.com/battlebots https://www.instagram.com/battlebots

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.
