NEW:
- Big Battle Arena BRAWL
- Rules: Standard Battle Arena Rules

- XP for Building A/B test - Our new Building XP system allows players to level up while they are building robots. As long as you’re actively building, and not just sitting in the edit mode, you’ll earn XP. We want to ensure that the feature works as expected outside of studio and so we're going to be rolling it out to a portion of new players in what's known as an A/B test. If all goes well with the test, we'll roll it out to everyone. You can find out more about XP for building and the A/B test by reading our recent Dev Jam.

OTHER CHANGES:
- Improvements to Insect Legs - We have made changes to Insect Leg parts that make them a lot more stable. They now flip less frequently and work smoothly with copters and flyers. There was an issue before where an insect would flip out of control if it had rotors attached and it tried to land on the ground. This has now been fixed in such a way where the insect leg mechanic does not take effect until the legs are touching the ground (before they would take effect a short distance off the ground).*
