I also mean iv seen people drive over crud and get snagged for a second or two which can cost them a good hit or be hit.

I think its not too much to ask if the judges are asked to sweep even a quick one after every fight.

There may be times a competitor needs to rush back and repair there bot and dose not have time to do it themselves or they could be lazy lol

Would it be possible to place a raised platform in the antweight arena with low polycarbonite walls, say 100 mm - 200 mm, with a push-out section that can be openned after a predetermined time, say 2 minutes?

I was also going to post this, new thread might be worthwhile.

I would like to see a raised platform.
It would make the fights a lot more interesting and also if we make it from a single sheet of MDF solve the clearance issues from that very slight ridge in the middle.

I was thinking about adding a countdown with large 7 segment displays and automating the walls lowering possibly with some large servos. I think that would be pretty cool.

Definately a good idea. Interactive arenas are especially good for public events!
