You really do need to make up your mind. You can think of the "game" as defeating your opponent in a fight. Theres no reason gracious professionalism doesn't exist in Battlebots IQ. Like I said, from what I experienced at the competition everyone was very helpful(In fact, I saw people from other teams helping out a poor kid that was by himself on his team). There was also a lot of good sportsmanship, no one took 'free hits' on their opponent and respected the fact that once they appeared to be KO'd they backed off. I didn't see any excessive damaging at all. I mean seriously, it was all within the bounds of the rules of the competition.
