Ragnabot 2 vs Ragnabot 1 - For Better or For Worse

A fun little something I've been doing whilst Ragnabot 2 has been going on is basically seeing how better, or worse, certain robots do than they did the previous time we had a Ragnabot. I thought it'd be more fun to share my observations.

For Better

Note: By technicalities, robots that failed to qualify last Ragnabot will automatically be dubbed as "For Better" even if they didn't actually take part in and win a qualifier match. This is because, technically, getting to appear in the actual Ragnabot tournament is automatically better than not making it at all, even if it is luck of the draw.
