Probably not the best place to ask this, but I've seen on one of the Youtube videos for Robot Wars someone's said that Hypno-Disc, amongst other machines, was apparently told past series 4 to 'tone down' the weapon so that it wasn't as destructive and forced to use a less powerful disc in series 6 as a result of past fights - they only said they remembered hearing it somewhere on the Robot Wars forum, can anyone shed any light on this?

It's just something that has intrigued me that's all, I was never part of the Robot Wars 'community' back in the day despite watching it religiously, so I lost out on a lot of the behind the scenes chatter about the shows...

Thanks!
