BattleBots S4E1 Recap (We’re in Deep Six! An Interview with Dustin Esswein)

We recap S4E1 of BattleBots, which featured Blacksmith versus Quantum, HyperShock versus Valkyrie, Kraken versus Ribbot, End Game versus Death Roll, Cobalt versus SubZero, SawBlaze versus Rotator and the main event, Tombstone versus Lock-Jaw.

Later, we interview Deep Six team captain Dustin Esswein, a U.S. Navy diver who was inspired to build one of this year’s most ambitious combat robots, a 4-foot-tall vertical spinner with a 100-pound bar.
