It wasn't even that they broke the unwritten rule. They were actively ignoring Shred yielding and the refs telling them to stop to the point that the refs actually pulled the controller out of Ethan's hands. It started to create an actual confrontation and you can see the tail end of it when the camera starts to focus on the team after the fight and you see Ethan finally throw up his hands in surrender. The fact that this is hardly their first example of incredibly unsportsmanlike behavior kinda removes any benefit of the doubt they might otherwise receive. And they have successfully turned the entire Battlebots community against them. I really home Black Dragon thoroughly kicks their shit in. Like a complete totalling of the bot and that they get entirely shunned by everyone in the pits.
Oh no, I fully understood what they did. I was just tossing in that I was aware of the fact there's an unwritten rule to not grind an already defenseless/defeated bot into a pulp because it costs time/money for no reason. He even said at the start all he had to do was get one big hit to flip him and he'd win, which he did, then proceeded to absolutely demolish CS all while being told to stop until eventually forced. Then ofcourse the best part is at the end he said he didn't know what to do because Shreddator just kept moving and attacking him, so he just kept hitting him. Yeah, CS does a lot of inverted driving while sitting like a turtle on its back. I'm just adding it onto their list of already questionable behavior such as sticking their hand on Martin Mason's mouth during the post fight interview, along with the others. Without listing off every single one, because who knows how long that list will eventually be.
