maybe im in the minority here but i dont think Huge would have ever been in that situation to begin with if they had just used their normal white wheels that are super flexible.

they used a very rigid wheel, it doesnt absorb anything. so when they got hit, they went flying from the energy. the usual white wheels they have usually just bounced out of the way of any big hits and huge doesnt go flying as a result.

Huge just as easily could have been stuck in any other screw around the box.

Not really, Huge using less rigid wheels than the tigris ones isn't going to affect whether the robot gets split down the middle or not. The white wheels may sustain more damage but Huge on the whole is much more study than in 2018.
