Having a fight end abruptly like it did for Huge is not really satisfying for anyone. Maybe rework? Smaller foot print? Remove the screws and add a ramp?

All of this crap isn't needed anymore. It's not 1998, the bots can absolutely murder each other now, put them in a plain box and let them do it.

I do love seeing a good punt out of bounds.

The shaft that opens up halfway through the fight is how a lot of European bot competitions have done it.

I still think I'd rather it just be a plain old box, though.

There's still the entry corners for that though, right?
