I'd also like to know about locking bars on actuator weapons?

My opinion?
If you can't engage in battle (whether that's because you're flipped, in the pit, OOTA, only have one wheel drive) then you're immobile.
If you can keep the fight coming despite any of those things (ie. you can effectively gyro dance) then that person loses points on damage (hell, they lost half their drive!) the opponent gains points on aggression and the fight continues.
