In all fairness, the rules going into the 2016 series were, if your robot is moving on one wheel, it's still moving. A dumb rule in my opinion as that means a robot going on one wheel could outlast someone that completely stops still much later into the fight. I think personally a complaint might have been aired for the judges to change their decision, or something of that ilk, but I agree with it either way. Maybe not consistent seeing the other decisions based on robots moving only on one wheel such as Eruption and PP3D but Robot wars has always had trouble with that rule. Maybe this will make them change it to the opposite next wars.

Now whilst I think Ironside3 being eliminated is pretty unfair in the sense that it did all the hard work, lost once in a strange scenario and were out, but I think all of the right calls were made during the episode. Whilst I personally would've been more inclined to give Thermidor the route back because it appeared to be mobile for longer, Pulsar did survive to the judges and did do damage to Chompalot I missed, so technically contributed to it going out which is I'm sure why they let them back in. After that episode Pulsar really grew on me, and I'd like to see them back next year with reliability all fixed and checked out.
