We should definitely update as broadast. Initially I didn't think we should move robots to the Champions/Finalists page until we knew who the champion and runner up were at least, but then I realised that meant we wouldn't know where to put entries for new competitors [[spoiler:like Carbide]] until the series had finished airing, and 6 more weeks is too long to wait. So I'd suggest just listing all the heat winners in a new folder at the bottom of the Champions/Finalists, listing them in heat order, with a simple note (possibly at the top of the page?) pointing out that the Champion and runner-up haven't been determined yet, then update the order to put them on top once they are. Regarding spoilers, you can't spoiler entire robot entries, so just add

Win/loss numbers are interesting since the format of the new series (with the mini-league after the opening melees) is completely different- after the first heat alone, [[spoiler:Razer only gains a single loss while Behemoth and Terrorhurtz both got 3 wins and 2 losses added to their cards]]. However I think it\'s already complicated enough that we track wins and losses separately for different robots (e.g Robot the Bruce, Chaos and Chaos II) so just add them to the existing counters anyway.

I think the pic that represents a robot should be of their most successful model. I wouldn\'t replace any pics of semifinalists or finalists that don\'t make it out of their heat (after all, the current pic for King Buxton is of their original 2nd Wars model because that was the one they made a semifinal with, even though they fought up to the 7th Wars and have come back again). It\'s the same reason we have Team Cold Fusion\'s entry listed under the 4th Wars with Pussycat, rather than the 1st Wars with Bodyhammer. Collapse a pic of Bonk under Mute, leave Orte until we know if it does better than Bigger Brother (which, let\'s be honest, is going to be unlikely- it\'d have to win the whole thing to top BB\'s 5th Wars performance) and even if [=PP3D=] does win it shouldn\'t replace Typhoon 2\'s entry.

Regarding the House Robots, though- yeah, update \'em with the originals underneath.
