(The following is the way I remember it)

Earlier this season, there was a discussion of the maximum MPH that spinners were allowed to go.  The bots are put in the outdoor testing area and there (among other things) they are tested on that speed.  

IIRC, the maximum  allowed was 250mph.  Most of the power bots we've seen this season have been fast, but none claimed 250 as their max.  Until Deep Six said 250 was their max.  That heavy a spinner, that is on a relatively unstable base, easy to see how it got embedded in the floor.  Most would have slowed down as a bot came apart, but not Deep Six.

Is the spin down time a part of the testing that bots have to pass? Is having a damper that can be put into action  a requirement?  

Are we about to see Battlebots inspired mayhem on a South Park episode?  Or with Mr. Mayhem on an All State Insurance ad?
