    Interview With a Henchman Ft Rob Sarakin

    Interview With a Henchman Ft Rob Sarakin

    We find ourselves in between events so the only reasonable thing to do is site down and get to know one of our favorite people at NHRL...Rob Sarakin!! If you have ever been to NHRL or participated in an event Rob is one of the head safety officers and is the one responsible for giving the safety speech in the morning as well as retrieving smoldering robots from cages. We start off playing our own NHRl themed version of the um actually game from Dropout. We then ask Rob how he became a henchman, when we will see him competing again and even turn into a DND podcast for a few minutes. Come hang out with us and get to know Rob a little better!
