Definitely agree that the Series 7 Featherweights was the best non-Heavyweight tournament there was.

Having watched all of the Featherweight Fights in incredible detail recently, I think it's very unfair to judge the House Robots for the destruction they caused in Series 7. Only two robots got battered across the 4 fights we saw, both of which were immobilised beforehand:
 * Micro-Mute was killed off by a fair hit from Matilda in her CPZ (while struggling to move on one wheel anyway) before the admittedly OTT destruction AFTER being counted out.
 * Mini-Maul was dead after a single flip from Rip four seconds into their fight before it was crushed by Killalot.
 * The only one I find a bit controversial is Psycho's attack on Rip, and one wonders whether or not it was filmed after Ripper attacked the House Robots in its round 2 fight.

Considering how little the House Robots did in the second fight and the final, one wonders whether there really was any need to withdraw Storm Vortex and RC2. So long as they remained mobile, they'd definitely have been fine.
