I just love these smaller events because things can just get more unhinged because the bots don't cost a hundred grand to make.

Imagine Carbide vs Dutch Oven.

How this is allowed?

I can only assume they grossly underestimated how much fuel could be in such a small bot!

All bots have their weapons and weight checked, so not like they snuck in illegal fuels or something. It just had more of a kick than they imagined I guess! They got the arena fixed for the next day as didn't do massive damage, just melted some plastic things. Just looks insane.
