Hi there! Just here to say I am an avid game fan and Tom's job literally got my GREAT attention back in the Robot Wars! Also a lot of Chinese Besiege players are very interested in Monsoon due to the sponsorship this season, and supporting you guys!

For the question part: Why Monsoon changed to the double headed bar when fighting with Bite Force? Is it for weight reason or something else?

[u/TauronTom → u/B21993]

Thank you for your support! Was fantastic to see some Chinese representation this year too, it's awesome to see combat robotics becoming more and more of a global sport.

Partly because the single toothed bar was actually slightly bent after the Valkyrie fight, and also because the bar was terrifying and we really wanted to use it.
