Re: Team Update #9

Oy, all of these metal on metal collisions were before my time. Anyone have a video? My girlfriend's dad is really into BattleBots and was somewhat underwhelmed by the DC Regional last year. I've modified his attitude a little, but it wouldn't hurt to show him some old school carnage as well.

This update should prevent teams from intentionally knocking out an opponent's MINIBOT (a concern, but a minor one). Most teams protect their electronics -- but I bet many teams aren't protecting their MINIBOT as much as they should be. After all, there is no deployment if the MINIBOT doesn't make it to the endgame to begin with!
