This week on the podcast, we’re catching up again with Joe Fabiani, who’s made a name for himself in combat robotics for leaning into unusual and unconventional designs. He’s retiring heavyweight SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE at the end of the season, and we ask him why, and what’s next.   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.

BattleBots S6E9 Recap with SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Captain Joe Fabiani!

Brandon Zalinsky

Tommy Wong

Izzie Cao

This week on the podcast, we go deep with Caulk builders Joe, Brandon, Tommy and Izzie, who (with the help of Pain Train captain Evan Arias) went against all odds last month to win the 12-pound division at Norwalk Havoc, with four championship 3-pounders: Smee, Starchild, Droopy and Shreddit Bro.  Now, Joe, Brandon, Tommy and Izzie are back, and have applied to the 2021 season of BattleBots with the most exciting multibot in the show’s history. They’re coming on this week to make their case to the fans—and the Selection Committee—for Caulk.   This week’s combat robotics news:   SlamMow vs. WAR? EZ! Basement Fight is out for BattleBots supporters BattleBots is shopping new venues: https://www.facebook.com/battlebots/posts/10157815789891406  The team behind Bloodsport is back, with a second robot application: https://www.facebook.com/bnsrobotics/posts/4124100167649451  Deadlift 2020 redesign: https://www.facebook.com/robogymrobotics/posts/4300357493350395  HiJinx art competition: https://www.facebook.com/HiJinx.BattleBot/posts/328445802040465  JackPot auction on eBay: https://www.facebook.com/JackPotBattleBots/posts/247238947099137  Malice is selling bolts (and awesome stands) soon: https://www.facebook.com/malicebattlebot/posts/308635483998661  Rusty v.
