This means there's still a prize, and it encourages everybody to go in each fight.

Regards arena flipper, as said before, i have thought about putting a LP mode, so i will look into that, might take a few events to get it right (unless theres any volunteers!). Can't do much with Battleaxe, the pneumatics are already turned down as far as i can go, the claws have very little crushing power and the hammer only just has enough power to fire itself, and it cant be made much lighter without become weak (its only 2-3mm wall hollow) we did try another head with a bigger area on it, but the slight increase in weight meant it didn't have the power to fire. Did look at a sprung head on it that would absorb some of the impact, but we have to make sure it doesn't look 'soft' to the audience.

Keep the ideas coming...

At least we have abit of a debate going, this forum hasn't seen one of them in a while!
make the hammer interchangeable for a timmy-mallett version when its in with the feathers lol
