ChonkIV is the most effective shell spinner competing today, with two Golden Dumpsters within the last 12 months, and taking home second place at the 2024 NHRL Championship. We learn what it takes to build a killer 30-pounder, how Team RoboJackets works, and answer obscure questions about student life on campus.
