Bottle of Doom falls over and explodes
Prior to the event the team believed that their machine would win outright as they applied pressure to the bottle. When it came to the first attempted the team pulled the lever but Bottle of Doom fell onto its side and exploded, going nowhere.
Bottle of Doom almost hits the max height
After the failure of the last round, Bottle of Doom was stabilised once again. As the klaxon sounded, the team pulled the lever and the Bottle of Doom shot straight up into the air almost hitting the top of the arena gaining the maximum height. It scored 6.4 metres as the main device failed to get to the top itself.
Bottle of Doom hits the roof
Having already won the competition, it did not matter how high Bottle of Doom got but once again it broke the record by reaching 7.5 metres. This was so high that the bottle itself was left damaged by hitting the roof. In the end Bottle of Doom got gold, Ping gained silver and joint Bronze was Clever Cardigan and Mantrap.
