To me a good battle is where both robots work to their full potential _________________ Mr "squirt"

well if something's not working then that's its full potential for that battle
Battles will get better and better once people iron out all the reliability issues that tend to plague the bots. _________________ The Engine Whisperer

i think that if you choose to compete in this sport you accept that your bot might get trashed and you have to deal with it .
but if you do have a spinner like me or a crusher you shouldent delibretly go for the electronics if you for any reason know where the electronics are in that bot then just try to avoid them go for the rest of the bot but if you happen to hit the electronics say the apponent came at you from a diffacult angle and you had to act fast then shit happens bad luck for your apponent it happens cant be helped
as for the tapout thing i say if the match starts and 30 seconds into it your bot gets smashed in two and you cant move then its not fair that you have to watch it get torn appart into confettie for the reast of the 2 1/2 mins the match should end 30 secs after your imobleised you clearly lost. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

Exactle, Similar to the american rules with their system. This sport is about having fun and watching your robot get torn apart after you are imobilised isnt fair nor fun. If its during battle then thats something else but not after your immobilised or your opponent is immobilised. _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics
