This was Jamie Hyneman, and Adam Savage’s robot (of MythBusters fame). It was given the championship 2 seperate years in exchange for not competing anymore, as you said, because it was too dangerous and flinging robot parts over the arena walls.
Just here to specify that “over the arena walls” is quite literal since the first arena didn’t have a ceiling. The flung pieces were thrown into the public, luckily never injuring anybody.

Shouldn’t the entire arena be in plexiglass so parts can’t fly over walls?
never trust protective glass when hyneman is involved in any way.
yeah, but i’ve seen that shatter too
If it’s good enough for the sides, it should work for the top
