The Resume

    Based in Miami, Florida
    Mike Gellatly (December 8, 1985- )
    Andrea Gellatly (nee Suarez) (1984- )
    Husband-and-wife co-captains and lead builders of the combat robot Witch Doctor on Battlebots
    Married since 2018

Why they might be annoying:

    Mike looks like he'd be much older than Andrea, even though he's actually about a year younger than she is.
    They both wear goofy tophats and skeleton costumes to the Battlebots arena, as part of Witch Doctor's Voodoo gimmick (with some due respect to Baron Samedi).
    At one point they called their bot building team 'Busted Nuts' (ouch!)
    Witch Doctor tends to go far in the Championship Tournaments but always ends up falling short of winning the Giant Nut (always the bridesmaid, never the bride).

Why they might not be annoying:

    They've both been involved in robotics since 2002.
    They've known each other since high school and also attended the University of Miami together.
    Andrea holds a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Miami.
    Mike holds a Master's degree in Mechanical Aerospace Engineering from the University of Miami.
    They've frequently participated in collaborations with the Make-A-Wish Foundation many times, meeting young and critically-ill Battlebots fans in person.
    Along with their robot Witch Doctor, they've been a constant fan favorite in the Battlebots competition since the TV series' ABC/Discovery revival in 2015.
