This week on the podcast, it’s 2011, and a high school-aged Will Bales is racing to finish his robot in time for BattleBots IQ. He’s competing with his friends (and cross-town rivals) Elizabeth and Danielle, who are building their own robots at the all-girls Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart. Their story is captured by documentary filmmaker Joey Daoud, whose film “Bots High” premiered on YouTube earlier this month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE7Gg7lvo8o
We catch up with Will and Joey to talk bots, documentaries, Prom 2011, HyperShock 2020 and more.
