The faster the robot, the more likely they were to go over. With 575 it was accelerate too hard, flip over, whack bucket over the top while accelerating hard and the robot was back up and running.
I believe 339 (FTC) tipped almost every match at the Championship. One of which included smoke as a bonus.
