Why did the announces keep claiming in their commentary that the killsaw activations were mistakes this season? I think it happened probably a half dozen times.

for the love of god no pit please. argh that poo poo is the worst thing in the world

Yeah really. I'll take the chances of an occasional shoving match over almost every fight ending due to a part of the stage becoming lava and now every fight is ended by someone getting pushed into or accidentally falling into the hole instantly ending the fight.

A casual search of Robot Wars wiki shows around 50 matches have been decided with the Pit with captions like this

quote:

Mistakenly drove towards the pit and swerved itself in.
Drove into the pit immediately after Bamm Bamm fell off its lifter.
Drove itself into the pit despite causing considerable damage to The Falcon Mark 2.
Drove into the pit despite dominating this battle against Unibite 2.0.
Drove over the pit as it was descending, eliminating it.
A mistimed charge at Spawn Again left Spam careening straight into the pit. Second time in the heat that Spam fell into the pit.
Backed into the pit despite appearing to lead this battle against former double UK champion Chaos 2.
After a strong start against Kat 3, reversed squarely onto the pit as it activated
Accidentally backed into the pit despite an aggressive start against the seeded MouseTrap.

Sounds Compelling!!
