The active weapon rule is something that James and I were pushing quite hard for. It wasn't to ban all pusher's, but to allow them and add an incentive to build an active weapon by capping the weight limit on non weaponed robot's.

For example, 11-12kg for a non active weapon, and the full weight limit for an active weapon. We feel that this shouldn't have any ill effect on pusher's in general as it's extremely easy to build a very very good pusher in under 10kg with hardox armour, which still leaves a good entry point for beginner's.

As expected with an AGM, people will always vote for more weight and fewer restrictions. It is something that we may impose for our championships in the future though.
