So does Steel Center's robot have titanium teeth? Or does it just spark like that for the fun of it when it hits the walls?

I'm referring to the arena no longer being suited for Monster Jam instead of Bots IQ.
We got gearboxes d:, but that was a big issue this year that I wasn't referring to. How does banebots run out of the main thing they sell? During robot season?

I'm digging deeper into the controller. They're definitely more powerful, but they may not be as fast.
