But to montage through 1/3 of the round and then spend almost 10 minutes on a cheat/no-cheat net? meh.

I'm not complaining; I get to watch super-awesome killing robots, which is more than I could say for the past 12 years. At least that won't happen in the Round of 16.

Pretty annoyed they replayed the net match. If it's not in the rules, it's not in the rules...then again, they've never released the rules to the public (terrible idea, btw). I don't really see this show staying on the air very long. There's no real analysis or commentary. It's all so...shallow "Oh, these robots are SO DIFFERENT!". I guess that's what you get when none of the commentators have any technical experience.
