Just like Beta v Rotator. Sorry, but the bot that dominated you won.

I'm looking at NHRL judging criteria.

Agression is an easy category. Clyde never attacked with its primary weapon. This is a minimum of 4-1 for Power Surge II, but I'd call it a clean sweep of 5-0 personally.

Control clearly goes to Clyde, but it is a tossup whether it's 5-1 or 4-2. I'll say 5-1 personally.

Power Surge was only able to reach level 4 damage by removing non-ablative armor in the form of a fork, and Clyde did none. By the NHRL criteria, that means the split is 4-2 in Power Surge's favor.

That's 10-7 in the favor of Power Surge II if I were a judge.

The only argument for clyde is that it won control entirely, received an aggression point without a weapon as a result of Power Surge running away once or twice, or that power surge didn't do enough damage to receive an aggression point. Any two of those swings the decision in the other direction. Editorializing: we aren't in a sumobots competition. If you don't use your weapon, you shouldn't win.
