This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with Ralf Schneider, captain of the European rookie multibot Jäger. The team faced big challenges this season — Ralf’s UK teammates were prevented from traveling to the U.S. due to COVID restrictions, which meant he had to lean on the help of other teams to get into the BattleBox. We learn more about his design ethos, and his journey to the 2021 season of BattleBots (returning Jan. 6 on Discovery Channel!)
