What Bloodsport needed was a spinner with a "tooth" at 45 degrees. That way contact would be at 90 degrees instead of a deflecting 45. Probably not something you can do on-site, but an idea for next season.

It was surely a very difficult match for Bloodsport, nonetheless I think the team could have made it a bit better with actually letting themselves not hit so often from the side (more from the front to have a chance to get under Beta). Of course thats a lot easier said than done, but it felt Bloodsport drove around from time to time without a plan.

That's a great point, it does say something about their weapon reliability which is a huge issue with many bots. It never stopped spinning even after the dead stop hits. It was weird that they didn't run forks straight forward for most hits you're right. Perhaps the gyro forces?

Bloodsport has a wedge on only one side, but when they ran from Beta they weren't able to keep that side facing the other bot, and that made it too easy for Beta to get underneath. That said, if you have a fast, tough wedgebot and a good driver, you can beat almost anything else.

I love seeing bots ripped apart, but spinners have basically become a cheat code, and it's getting boring, Beta's victory here notwithstanding. In the same way that walkers get an extra weight allowance over wheeled bots, bots that don't spin more than a very low RPM (e.g. hammers or flippers) ought to gain similar benefits. Otherwise, every final is going to be an outsized lawnmower blade/drum spinner tearing something else to shreds, in an outcome that's often decided after first contact. If non-spinners could slap an extra 100 lbs of ablative armor on top of a super-beefy motor, we might see something more than wheeled chipper-shredders.

I know everyone does this but I really think Bloodsport should have attached some forks and tried to get under Beta's wedge. Justin comments at the end that his drive wasn't at full power, so he probably expected to be fast enough to get behind Beta, and I totally understand that approach, but man against a team with as much driving skill as Beta, that's still a tall order. I do hope to see Bloodsport make some noise in the tournament, honestly one of my favorite teams, but they just got outplayed here.

Has Beta ever fought Hydra? I couldn't find any reference to it ever happening, it would be great if it did. Both bots rely on getting underneath their opponent, and I wonder which one of the two would have the advantage. That said, even if they were matched in terms of their ability to slide under the other bot, Hydra can do *so* much more damage once they get to this point. It feels like Beta is already great but might even have more potential.
