Compsognathus 12/19/20 10:58:49 AM #32:	Gakk86 posted... Rotator got 2-3 points for damage, not Beta, for the lucky hit to Beta's hammer. Beta got none. But Beta did get 3 for control and at least 1 for aggression. Try to follow along. You're right, though, there is a huge shortage of bots that can do damage in modern Battlebots. Only a couple of them have weapons, the rest are just wedgebots. Dozens of the fuckers, really. Whatever will we do? The problem is that if Armored Wedges are allowed, the Mets inevitably shifts to that. Then comes the push fights. Then comes the cancelation. Obviously it wouldn't be this season, but the active weapon rule was specifically designed to prevent it from going that direction. And at least at one time the rules had stated that aggression could only be earned by making aggressive actions with your active weapon. So they either changed it or judges are no longer consistently applying the rule. Regardless Beta clearly wasn't operating within the spirit of the rule. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:948524759] in Battlebots...
