I dunno, just my $.02
I liked those days. You had a starting size limit, a total weight limit, and that was pretty much it for size and weight restrictions.

It was clear, understandable, and a degree in constitutional law wasn't necessary to understand the dozens of clauses, exemptions, and the exact DEFINITIONS of various aspects of the robot and the game.
