I think a set rules are needed for Gameplay. I know most people know the general rules for the actual fighting but some points are unclear.
We were involved with an incident at sheffield. In the final, Big Nipper and Mute both went into the pit, and we were the only ones left. We went into our victory spin and the annoucer said we had won, but then BN got flipped out of the pit by mute, the fight then carried on. We ended up being pitted (unable to srimech due to not enough gas, some were waisted on the victory spin). But nobody was sure if it should of carried on or not due to there being no written rule about it.
The thing that made it more difficult to decide was the fact that mute flipped them out of the pit, and that they didnt get out by just by themsleves.
Us or Big Nipper still dont know what the official out come was, they were given the decision.
Ill make it clear, that im not moaning, or holding anything aginst BN, theyre great guys and have a great robot. Ill be chearing for them tonight on RW (even though I know the outcome!). I just would like to see a set of official Bout rules to make it clear when a robot is out or not.
I think a re-match is needed
