And yet, for that producer's explanation, the overwhelming majority of teams watching that fight ALONGSIDE the two teams participating were shocked and/or angry with the judge's decision. If the room can tell at a glance that something isn't adding up, it's rather revealing and important to consider because the fan audience will likely reach the same conclusions. Promoting disappointing outcomes can just as easily get the show cancelled a second time.

Since the scoring has to award all points the categories are necessarily considered relative to each participant in a fight. So, in the case of damage, for example, what share of the damage goes to which bot. In the case of aggression, while the producer explains that wedge bots pushing opponents into the box can count for points, the primary weapon is the first consideration. Beta never even attempted to engage their primary weapon. NEVER... Not at all. Just didn't bother. They weren't using Duck!, so there was no excuse of needing control as part of their offense. They just didn't bother, despite safe opportunities to do so.

At most, and this is being really generous, you might give Beta 5 out of the total 11 points. Full control, and some scraps from aggression or damage due to the technicality of pushing Rotator into the box. But in terms of an appreciable effect, there was none.
