He's a former BattleBots champion and the biggest douchebag moment associated with him is when he hit his opponent after the buzzer in season one. Derek's not the shithead they're trying to paint him as. There's also the manufactured drama around Derek "The Bad Boy of BattleBots" Young himself.
You all have been excellent in being suspicious of the handshake and net, because both of those were framed as such with a bunch of nonsensical interviews and candid-looking shots.Ĭhuck Pitzer delivers some lines when Derek is setting up the present and they seem a bit jilted and unnatural. However, it's very obvious at times that the hosts/producers are purposefully injecting drama and nonsense into moments where no such drama actually exists. It's hard to fake things perfectly using robots, like catching on fire or getting the net to tangle just right. As a former competitor, I can vouch that the carnage that happens in the arena is absolutely real. There's a little bit of smoke and mirrors here which are muddying the water.
