Rule changes in every season?
I added a bunch more rule changes to Series 7 and it got me thinking. Virtually every series of Robot Wars had a significant rule change that is notable. Should we add them in? Here the ones I found, some are more obvious than others:

Series 2: Heavyweights only in the main competition

Series 4: Prior to Series 4, clusterbots were not allowed to compete in melees.

Series 5: Technically enacted in Extreme 1, but we'll call it Series 5 since that's how the rule set is labelled. Weight limit in all classes was raised to its current standing. The clusterbot immobilization criteria was changed from one segment to 50% of the total robot.
