How Could I Improve...

Only problem I see is that with the flippers not going outwards you could get robots doing an Atomic quite often (driving in the gap)...still, nothing a roll of fabric and some duct tape wouldnt fix :P

I dont think you have to use realistic materials in arenas anyway...the arena in TCC has a floor made of joeyium, which is incredibly light but resistant to anything that can be used as a weapon, up to and including Frank Goacher

*coughinterceptoraboverrobotcoulddowithimprovingco ugh*

Lets see, something that is thick enough to support 100kg robots, and heavier house robots, of course, unless theres something underneath that.

Go for 30+mm plywood, and steel underneath that.

Well, when the panel goes up, there is a gap left in the floor, and robots can drive into said gap and look very stupid...you can avert that by taping some fabric in place to stop them...meh, my jokes are getting worse :P
I was trying to nitpick your arena in a humourous way, it looks good, makes a change from the usual squares.

Magnetism possibly...although like I said I dont think thered be any major problems if you just said the floor was invincible.

I dont think Combatant has one anymore, just to be random :P but I think the only advantage would be taking up less space, youd need it to be very large or very fast to have any effect beyond antweight level.

Did Fatal Tractions weapon even do anything?
