But for serious. Between the way battlebots has gone and robot wars, non-active weapon robots are slowly getting moved out. Why not follow suit?

Sounds good




Let's also ban hammers

EDIT: But for serious mode, nearly all non-televised competitions don't require active weapons, so I wouldn't ban them for the main ARC tournaments like FRR and Ruination. If Toxic wants to add an active weapon requirement on Reddit next year, maybe, but otherwise it doesn't seem like there's much of a point.

Better idea, we retroactively ban rammers. Then Tank loses all of its championships. :v:

if you ban rammers spinners become unstopable for the most part

the issue is more and more flippers will have to play spinner killer and we get to many flippers with the same stats

what should be banned or contorled is low poered lfiters or flippers as the are wedge robot with baly 1 weapon power so noboy can get udner them but these robot are become to comon and a bit to effective

a sollution would be you can't add armour to weapons with 4 or less power

people complain more about lifters than actual rammers, which have no weapons at all.

or alternatively, actual actual rammers, like probot and smilodon :V

rammers aren't broken

lifters are still broken... maliciously. even with a nerf.
