Chomp should not have won
Chomp spent the majority of the fight on its side not doing anything. How is that a victory?

shareZoe is cute and they wanted her in the contest longer.

I think it's laughable they kept saying Chomp was an accurate attacker and kept praising it for how precise it was. It flails around like a fish out of water and only wins through luck. It's a shame it got timed-out instead of getting totally shredded up like it deserves.
shareChomp hit Disco Inferno and stopped his weapon and hit him again and knocked him out. Chomp had no damage.
When Chomp fought Bight Force she knocked his d!ck off right away and took 0% damage.
So if Chomp deserves to lose then why don't you hurt him?
Very true vs. Disco Inf.
However, with Bite Force and regardless of whether it was lucky or not, Chump's hit early on was the only damage done in the entire bout. What bothers most fans is that even without it main weapon, Bite Force still bullied, pushed, and shoved Chump all around the battle box. BF controlled the fight, and came so close to immobilizing Chump, but it still lost.
And speaking of hurting Chump, Yeti did exactly that to her. He had the correct strategy, which I am guessing Bite Force was attempting, to take out Chump. Hit it hard and knock that unstable bot over. Keep it on its side and chew it up piece at a time. The self righting arm/ear on the left side was cut off, there was significant damage to the undercarriage (a hole at the very least).
Any bot that top heavy which spends half or more of a bout on its side or having to self right is not a good design and would have to have an incredible run of luck to win the tournament. Had Zoe Stevenson not drawn such a "lucky" seeding slot in the bracket she probably would have been out in the first round.
Not that I wanted it to make it to the semifinals but I admit wanting to see what Tombstone would have done to it.
