You can turn damage indicators and immobility warnings off? Maybe it just means all of the screen overlays during battle... Hell if I know.

Nice find. I'm guessing that they didn't have time to put this in the game but it'd be cool to be able to turn damage off or something.

Yes, you can, and in the game as well. It hides the robot status screens.

:O, this is news to me. Guess you learn something new every day.

Well, crap... I thought it would turn off the green numbers that appear when you do damage to the opponent.

[Naryar]

I think you can do that as well.

All that does is hide all the extra graphics that appear on the screen, so you only see the bots and the arena.  When a bot is being immobilized, you only hear the "beep, beep, beep" and don't see the countdown numbers.  Makes a more "real-life" experience, as you can't see how many points, battery life, or chassis health the bots have.
 
I've found it useful to turn this off for taking screenshots of arenas for preview images.  You can set the match time to "no limit" to get rid of the clock too so there's nothing cluttering the screen.
