I have mixed feelings on this. It was certainly a tense fight, but the result left me in a bit of a "I'm not sure how to feel, happy? Dunno"
I feel a mandatory weapon use rule would be a potential slippery slope, because it already favors spinners as is. Just spool it up and done, flippers/hammers are already less effective and risk getting wrecked because of something spinning so fast you can't see might graze it. While watching bricks hump each other into submission is boring, I honestly got a bit bored last season because almost all of the dominant bots use nearly the same weapon concept. Biteforce, Hypershock, Lockjaw, Endgame, Witchdoctor, etc. simple, yet effective.

Anyways, there was a response that I also agreed with. Rotator specifically configured their bot to trash the hammer if it came down on them and to deter being hit, then is surprised they didn't get hit there. I'm curious if running the dual spinner configuration would have worked better, as then they could more likely cut into the less protected areas of Beta vs trying to cut the air and never getting flipped.

There's also the off chance that they would have fired their hammer if it didn't get damaged, but tbh they could have fired it when it was riding on top. So many "could haves/should haves" from such a short span.
