RobotWarsForever, that wasn't the series 6 Grand Final, several posts above it indicate that it was the Extreme Warriors War of Independence, which was filmed months before.

I'd like to add another point about the frame here. People claim that Tornado cheated by being immune to the pit, but it can be pitted, not just all four wheels dangling over the pit, but it can infact go in.

At the end of the Grand Final and European Championship battles, Tornado was left with half of the frame over the pit. The frame is only slightly wider than the length of the pit, so if Tornado was positioned so that it faced the pit diagonally, with the edges of the frame facing opposite corners of the pit (eg top right and bottom left corners), and then if Razer lifted it up, it would fit within the corners of the pit and could be lowered down to the bottom of the pit.

Ergo, even if not being able to fit in the pit was considered cheating (which it was not), Tornado is excused because it can actually be pitted with the frame on.
