You can tell on the new model that a lot of thought has been put into pilot safety. There's something like a bumper and recognizable crash cage now, for example, and the transparent acrylic the pilot looks out through is at a steeper angle, higher up, so the other robot is unlikely to strike it directly.

I just saw that they're going to fight in August. The US team has a lot of financial backing, so they may end up winning.
I'm still skeptical about pilot safety, unless they purposefully tone things down, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.
