Hittin' it Big with JackPot Captain Jeff Waters - a podcast by Behind the Bots

This week on the podcast, we catch up with a returning guest, JackPot captain Jeff Waters! The last time Jeff was on the show, he was working on the pit crew for Team Malice. BattleBots later invited him to build his own heavyweight, so he struck out on his own and built JackPot in less than a month. We talk Las Vegas, fast builds and filming.
