The nice thing about steel or titanium is that with a big enough hammer you can mend on the fly at a competition.
I can't forget the resurrection of Bigger Brother after the fight with Hypnodisk.

Afther this beating, Bigger Brother just needed a cheap arc welder, hammers and angle grinders.
Try that with High Tech armor.

And yes, I was there.
