Immobilisation rule


I was wondering what is the background is to these points being brought forward.
So one example i can put forward that needs to be rectified is that currently immobilised robots are only considered immobile at the end of their 10 second count. Whereas really it should be deemed at the start of the count, with 10 seconds being given to prove mobility.

This has quite negative results thats actually appeared several times in melees, and arguably on the TV show aswell.

For example, Conker vs Beauty 8 vs Shard.

A robot which is clearly immobile and cannot move currently has 10 seconds before being deemed to be out. This means that even though they made be destroyed into a million pieces, if another robot they are fighting against goes out of the arena within 10 seconds - they are considered to have beaten that robot.

This happened to Conker, who after destroying B8 with Shard then seconds later clashed blades and went out of the arena. Beauty 8 was awarded 2nd place - even though it was completely dead when Conker went out.

Thus for this case the immobilisation rule should be changed such that if you are counted out, your deemed to have been immobile from the point the count starts - not ends.
