I'm with you there. Not sure if there's any plausible rule changes they could make to that end though. Removing the "damaging contact" rule would battlebot-ize the competition. Hardening it would make for even more absurd rulings (or, as someone else suggested, would result in teams 'armoring' themselves with flimsy breakable things).

It's too bad SF1-3 had to be known for the calls afterwards. It (and the other 2 matches in that series) were amazing to watch.
