I'm sorry but there are machines that have been allowed into the arena, have been armed up and haven't had a restraint on the weapon in place whilst arming up? Who tech checked and allowed those to fight?????

Thinking to the feather champs every machine was activated then finally before the box was locked, the pins were all removed last thing.

I see no reason that this can't be the case and if your machine is not suitably designed then it should not be allowed to compete. This is simple stuff!
