Just ahead of the BattleBots Champions Golden Bolt Finals, I got together with Giant Nut winners Ray Billings, Donald Hutson, Jamison Go, Alex Grant and Aren Hill about their personal journeys as champions. We touched on a range of topics from dipping back into the past and exploring how combat robotics has evolved and how the landscape has changed for those pursuing the ultimate prize and how that evolution may continue into the future. We also touched on the ongoing debate regarding whether Bite Force could dominate in today's field, the power of inspiration and whether making monster truck versions of BattleBots is the best idea ever. This is definitely one you won't want to miss!
