Outside of the Box Ep 134 | Rules & Judging Roundtable | NHRL | BattleBots

Combat robotics rules and judging criteria are some of the most hotly debated topics in the sport and I had Mike Jeffries (BattleBots match steward), Connor Benton (New Zealand builder & judge), Michael Hall (MRCA board member) and David Calkins (RoboGames & former BattleBots judge) join me to talk through all of it. We got into a whole host of topics including OOTA rules and whether it can be done safely, a judging criteria deep dive, the merit of challenges and tapouts at all levels and a brief glance at Ray Billings' fan mail!
