BattleBots S6E5 Recap with Faruq Tauheed!

 

This week on the podcast, we’re catching up with BattleBots host and resident hype man, Faruq Tauheed! Faruq takes us behind the scenes on a typical shooting day at BattleBots, gives us tips on how to protect your voice over a two-week shoot, and reveals what his favorite intro of all time is.

 

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. Check them out at maxamps.com
