RoboCast #118: BattleBots Champions - Episode 1 Review [w. Calvin Iba]

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with MadCatter driver Calvin Iba! Diehard combat robotics fans know Calvin for Lynx, the world’s most competitive beetleweight, which has taken home nearly a dozen first-place finishes at competitions across the U.S. In December, Calvin took home a Golden Brett and $10,000 cash after going undefeated at the Norwalk Havoc World Championships, with decisive victories over Vespula, Project LiftOff, Eruption, Silent Spring, and Silent Spring again. Outside of combat robotics, he’s a talented engineer and super good human — we really liked this interview, and we think you will too.   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.
