About this episode

The episode recaps the April NHRL event with builders Jaaron Leibson and Ezequiel Solano discussing their experiences and robot competitions.

This week we will recap the April NHRL event with WPI's own Ezequiel and Jaaron!

This time they're back with 12lb Supernova where they made an impressive run to the Semifinals where they ultimately lost to Maximizer.
