Sorry if i made it seem like the robot 'battling' was the entire reason i wanted the 2x2. To me, it was part of the engineering and learning process to make a machine that could withstand any hits you may take. Obviously we don't want robots out here with circular saws or other things like that, but head to head competition was a thing that many people liked.

I don't think it is unreasonable to design a machine that can take a few hits here and there. As long as people stay graciously professional, and not viciously attack other robots, we should not have a problem.

Whether they bring back the 2x2 or keep the 4x0, it doesn't really matter to me... i loved both ways of competing, just for teh spectators, it is probably a little bit more exciting to watch the 2x2.
