Warhead should be considered KOed there. A functioning weapon hasn't been allowed to count as still alive before.

Yeah, specifically, I think the rules say that the movement has to be "controlled" while Warhead spinning on its head was most certainly not controlled.

But hey it was a nice spectacle and in the end, one bot was on fire and the other wasn't so

Pretty sure being able to achieve movement has always counted as still being an active bot.

Pretty sure Complete Control still would have been knock out first there.

Also what exactly counts as control movement, because they said it was designed to do that, so even though it probably can only really move straight while doing that I dunno.

They've counted out various Toro models despite still being able to do flips.

They kind of covered it in the prefight interview. They tried to add extra armor (aluminum honeycomb I think?) to their main bot to try and take the hits from Tombstone.

Complete Control broke his spinner last year with the net trick, and he was forced to use a lifter the rest of the time.

Probably not as much as it seemed! Most of the energy came from S.O.W. :) two spinning weapons hitting always leads to excitement.

Yeah, but even so, seeing Poison Arrow barely recoil while SOW flies ten feet in the air was quite a sight. That's some Third Law gone wrong there.

The drone bots can't even hit a a stationary target with their straight-down flame. What a waste of weight.

They're trash and one of them is going to get beaten by a rake if hypershock has anything to say about it.

You can see how nearly worthless Poison Arrow was in that with the 2 hits they did after. I feel lime most of that was just from SOW. Between that and complete control getting torched, it was some good TV. Even if it was 4 quick knockouts.
