See, that's what turned me off of the fighting robot shows. It used to be more about strategy, maneuvering, etc (anyone remember Deadblow; it wasn't designed to kill the other robot, it was designed to maneuver in and out and get points with all the hits it landed). But they all devolved into two robots driving up to each other, and the one with a bigger weapon won. Vlad the Impaler couldn't destroy a robot (for that matter, neither could Vladiator), but it often won by being better driven and using that dual-forklift (for lack of a better description) to great effect.
