Without any outer edges the abilty of the machine to slip by obstacles and other robots at high speeds is greatly increased. it is also much more dificult to pin an octagon to a barrier than it is a rectangle. i used to drive the 2005 swampthing through hordes of robots and tetras and they would just get diflected off and the machine just coudn't be stoped by anything
