Thats not really fair Grant. Most robots that are sold are not exactly new ones, they have been standing in garages all over the UK. They have not had the benefit of years of progress the most of the current live event robots had.

Obsidian came of really lucky in that aspect in the UK champs last year. Had I been drawn against Terrorhurtz or Kan-Opener there wouldnt have been a straight piece of frame left. It already broke something on the landing when Kronic flipped it out of the arena. A robot like Beast or Envy can take that kind of abuse easily. Hydra has already proven i can stay in one piece by landing on the arena barrier during series 7 without much damage.
