Tim Bogdanof — a mechanical technician in the Lab’s Engineering Division — is participating in the 2020 edition of “Battlebots,” which begins airing on the Discovery Channel this Thursday at 8 p.m. (PST).

You may remember Bogdan from the Lab’s most recent Open Mic session. He shared a video of behind-the-scenes footage he recorded of his experience during the competition. This video will premiere on his YouTube channel (Unburnable Trash) immediately following the program.

At last year’s “Battlebots” competition, Bogdanof won the Giant Nut trophy as a member of team Bite Force. This year, however, he is competing with a completely new team and robot, named HiJinx. Let’s wish him luck!
