BattleBots S4E8 Recap (Black Dragon Captain João Marcos Giacometti Cavalheiro)

Listen Later

We recap S4E8 of BattleBots, which featured the Desperado Tournament, where eight bots fought in seven sudden death matches to automatically secure one spot in the Top 16. Competing in the Desperado this year: Minotaur, Lucky, End Game, Gruff, Black Dragon, Captain Shrederator, WAR Hawk and Ragnarok, plus the bonus fight! Deep Six versus Axe Backwards.

We interview Black Dragon captain (and Desperado Tournament champion!) João Marcos Giacometti Cavalheiro, who tells us about his early experience with combat robotics, his team's other famous bots, and exactly how they won their lucky mascot.

> Aug. 3: Combat Robotics at the Ohio State Fair, Columbus OH
