Yeah thats true. I know about that moan about the hat draw - twice, i think he was having a bad day. But you cant let that one thing repersent everyone else, which we clearly saw at the next event Scoprion and Dragon Strike 1v1, both teams were hmmm ok this could be interesting. Its going to happen one day where 2 big spinners will meat 1v1, and they took it like grown men, bit of damage, nothing major thankfuly, but all was well.

But then how can you judge how freindly a pusher is being? - Very hard, but im sure we all know when Pillow Torque is at full stick on a robot into the arena wall. But i agree what your saying. Theres no really such thing as a Friendly fight unless its at a big outdoor friendly event. When your in an arena like that, with lots of crowd and roboteers, of course roboteers are going to try their best to win. Its been known for a friendly battle to turn into a nasty battle but hmmm one of the things were all going to have to deal with, and accept, there will be some to***ers out there that will go the full length to kill a robot when they told some roboteers Ill go easy on you etc. I saw it happen at least twice at Cambridge, and many other events. Something people are going to have to learn to deal with maybe, and maybe the event organiser should step in if a team goes OTT?
