This week on the podcast, we catch up with longtime BattleBots competitor Victor Soto, captain of the tanky golden horizontal disc spinner Rotator. We get his take on the BETA-Rotator match, which generated almost no online controversy this past week, and learn how he got into the sport and became one of the core members of the Florida Bot Mafia.   This week’s combat robotics news stories:   > BattleBots is taking NYE off, and will return on Jan. 7 > Meanwhile, BattleBots: Bounty Hunters begins streaming Jan. 4 > ATOM 94 fight recap: https://www.facebook.com/teamAVRobotics/posts/1299192020452043  > BattleBots builders unbox HEXBUGS: https://youtu.be/geUjmEhlWUE  > Black Dragon fight recap: https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6yHgclqAt/ > Copperhead fight recap: https://www.facebook.com/CausticCreations/posts/3693510457376001  > Gigabyte fight recap: https://www.facebook.com/RoboticDeathCompany/posts/1681664102223621  > JackPot AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/kg5pot/ama_hit_jackpot_with_your_questions_4pm_pst/ > JackPot busted weapon shirts: https://www.facebook.com/JackPotBattleBots/posts/172023587954007  > Kraken fight recap: https://www.facebook.com/KrakenBattleBot/posts/858327314943484  > Mammoth vs. HUGE painting: https://www.facebook.com/MammothBattlebot/posts/2935849223310127  > Red Devil goes viral: https://youtu.be/DHHF2q6Sz94  > Ribbot v.
