But the rules have always been like that, though. That's how Pulsar beat Ironside3 in New Season 1, because Ironside was immobilised first. Heck, Firestorm 2 vs The Morgue played that rule exactly.

Besides, look at Judge Shred 2.5 vs 259 in the UK vs Germany special. Considering both robots ended up immobilised at roughly the same time and they chose to count out Judge Shred before they chose to count out 259 (like, literally once Judge Shred had been pitted)...that could have been quite controversial. Or is it only an issue when the robot who becomes immobilised first was winning? Like, imagine if Pussycat had broken down about five seconds after Fluffy did...technically it would still have won, but would you have been OK with that?
