I wasn't able to come to the 2nd day as couldn't repair the damage overnight. I think they had turned the power of the flipper right up for the second fight on the Saturday, they probably did the same in the Sunday. Ahh well, part of the game I suppose.
I too fell foul of the floor flipper, hitting the roof. I don't think the floor flippers power was changed though as another bot hit the roof on the Sunday and the flipper seemed to be strong enough to pull that off all event long.
