Razer won it's only title in Series 5, defeating Firestorm III the closest ever judges decision in it's Grand Final Eliminator battle, followed by beating Bigger Brother in the Grand Final. What made the appearance of Bigger Brother in this Championship deciding fight so incredible? [Multiple answers are required, all correct answers must be chosen.]
Bigger Brother was driven by Ian Watts, and the flipper was controlled by his son Joe... who was only 8 years old at the time. Even the 6-year-old Ellie was a proper member of the team.
