Amazon Re:MARS Recap with HyperShock’s Alex Bales and Her Husband Will

<p>This week on the podcast, we’re headed to Las Vegas, where BattleBots just wrapped up a special one-day tournament, sponsored by the Amazon Re:MARS conference. Eight bots faced off, in hopes of taking home a Giant Bolt. In the end, it was HyperShock, which went undefeated in the bracket, led by rookie driver Alex Bales.</p> <p>Her husband Will was busy filling in for Kenny Florian, giving him a front-row seat to his wife’s fights. We’re sitting down with Will and Alex to get a full breakdown of the event, and what this win means for the team going forward.</p> <p>This week’s interview is brought to you by MaxAmps and their new line of “Max Combat” batteries. These battle-ready batteries are available for 1-, 3-, 12-, and 30-pound bots and feature a custom wrap with your team’s logo, internal hard skins for extra protection, and puncture resistant wire sleeves.
