Well, you can think about i differently.

When I design for robot combat, I think of trying to make the most durable machine I can (on top of the usual ease of manufacturing, cost, good practices, etc...) because I want my skills tested. Now, to get those tested, the other guy has to be able to lay some smack down; so, he's expecting me to return the favor.

But, I can admit, It's also nice to see some good robot on robot combat sometimes.
