I was going to say what happened to the tooth??? that must have come off at some stupid speed and carrying some ridicules amount of force.

What was the roof made of ?

According to the site:

There is a thick grade plastic ceiling covering the roof of the BattleBox .

From what I understand, the tooth escaped through a gap between the sheeting and fell from the top.

Our DRG FCC arena takes about 2-3 days. But after a while we should be able to do it in a day. I would venture to guess Battlebots had about a week.

Warhead effectively twisted Nightmares tooth right off the side of the disc! The 5 pound tooth flew across the arena, bounced off the Lexan and landed back near where the bots were fighting. The disc was still spinning full-speed however, and the peeled-back aluminum from the gap where the tooth used to be, came back around and sliced through Nightmares own weapon drive belts, and the disc slowly spun down and stopped.

i think it was the heavyweight melee later, in which the tooth escaped. i knew about the tooth hitting gregs family member, but didnt know it broke her arm.

James is right - the tooth that flew out of the arena was in one of the Heavyweight Melees later on during filming, not during the Warhead/Nightmare fight.

As soon as the weakness was identified as result of the tooth escaping the box Battlebots immediatley cancelled anything further that could result in the same thing occurring again, so sadly a number of the final fights (including a Final fight Warhead could have been in) never took place :sad:
