This is a stupid question but I'll ask anyway-

The Tombstone guy used to have a bot called Last Rites which was pretty much the exact same bot. Why the name change?

I liked the sportsmanship and I hate being cynical, but I'm guessing Smeeeeeeee felt the win coming and wanted a better show for the selection committee. They don't usually have that opportunity.

I'm not sure about the rule change but that was definitely Hydra. It was kind of bullshit and further cemented the heel status of Team Whyachi.

That's fantastic! I got into NHRL from this thread and it makes me happy. I love watching the tiny bots bouncing off from each other, and Fluffy is an understated delight. And it's close enough to me, and 1 lb. bots are approachable enough, I'm almost wondering how to get into it.
