This week on the podcast, we catch up with Hydra captain Jake Ewert, whose unconventional strategy against HUGE garnered a fair amount of controversy this week among BattleBots fans. We learn more about his 2020 build, how his weapon works and how the team planned for HUGE in the preseason. Plus! We recap episode 5 of the show, and look ahead to an explosive main event next week.
