Actually, technically, there was an example of a robot getting stranded on the pit and that being classed as pitted before The Morgue was. Remember Wild Willy? It got itself stuck on the edge of the pit and was unable to get away to the point where Matilda fully pushed it in, and the judges gave the victory to its opponent, Flip Flop Fly, because of that. Keeping in mind that Flip Flop Fly was barely mobile, and Wild Willy had been by far the superior machine up until that point, I doubt it was favouritism.
