the sport has really evolved in the past few years. robots have gotten more destructive and cheaper with icbm's (inexpensive chinese burshless motors), lipo batteries and other cheaper electronics. the other big change is the "sportsman class" which outright bans wedges and high kinetic energy weapons, which leaves room for more creative bots. arena hazards also don't exist anymore and floors are often plywood which gets scared and chewed up which creates an uneven surface which forces robots to have a higher ground clearance.
for anyone who's interested and in florida there is a battebots event coming up soon
