“On average, active weaponry offers no advantage in combat success in weight classes examined. However, even though the average beetle or feather with an active weapon performs less well than the average passive-weaponed robot, the top-ranked robot in each of these classes is a spinner. If you have an experienced team with ample resources and will settle for nothing but first place you will be best served to run with a spinner. But if you're an average builder who wants to win matches you'll be better off building a boring but capable wedge.”
