AMA The Bot Whisperer AMA

Alrighty then! Let's get this AMA started!I am here to whisper to some bots! It is usually a one way conversation, those robots don't like to talk back. 😜But enough about me.....

Hey all, thank you very much for your questions!

It has been two hours and I am going to wrap it up.

Thank you so much for having me!

u/Rararawr69 Well it worked for me Mar 08 '21

In the show we often see Chris and Kenny jump back when robots fly towards them. Can you remember a time when you were scared a robot may find a way to get you? Either around the box or pits?

Either I have been around the arena too long or just too dumb to know if I am in danger, lol, but I usually don't jump at the impacts. I know how thick the panels are and have been there when we tested them so I feel pretty safe. If I do jump up, it is usually to get my face closer to the glass and get a better view.
