BattleBots S6E3 Recap with HyperShock Captain Will Bales!

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with the captain of everyone’s favorite neon green heavyweight, HyperShock! HyperShock began its run for the Giant Nut on Thursday, with a convincing win over Slammo. Is this their season? We’ll ask Will Bales that question (and more).
