Quoted from Curbfeeler:Hi guys, good morning. I managed to take a youtube video of my machine in action during multiball, and it's actually not as horrible as it could be. Tripod on a table.... Go me!

What you will see is me loading up a game and with ball-in-hand making the super skill shot (:20). Then I start completing the chest targets, first with the ball and then finishing (1:17) by hand. This opens the visor, and I shoot both eyes (1:38). Then I get a third ball, and it counts down 30 seconds, during which I can earn ball 4 by shooting the left eject (1:42).
This kicks a ball into the shooter, but at this point I didn't want multiball to start yet. I wanted to wait until you put that ball in play, so just hitting any switch on the playfield (1:46) is what releases the other 3 balls for a 4-ball multiball. It's a bit crazy!
I hit the standup target (2:00) to open up the jackpot shot. Then I have to make the ramp for a jackpot. My ramp is wired backward, so I have to manually (2:06 and 2:10) make the switches in reverse order to score two jackpots.
At 2:15 I drain my 3rd ball to demonstrate multiball ending and going back to chest mode. I have a bug in my code where from here on out my visor goes into seek mode. Annoying, but hopefully easy to fix.
I go ahead and drain my last ball at 2:14 to show the end of ball routine. This starts up ball 3, and for the next few seconds I mess around until the ball gets trapped in the eyeball. Whoops, that visor wasn't supposed to be open... I have more work to do, looks like!

Am I glad or not I typed PinBot into the search field this evening... ? This is just pretty darn excellent. I was just about to put my PinBot up for sale this week and then I saw this... Well you can forget it, my PinBot is not going anywhere now. This superseeds a bunch of today's games kicking a great design from 86 another 25-30 years ahead into the same league.. I will stay put and wait for you Dan to finish this and take the chance you hopefully will share this.
Are you considering a Superskill shot as well ?
It could be by, 1 dropping into the middle vortex, 2 hitting a random lit by the machine, chest colour on a 7-8 second timer..
This is just the beginning.. Hell with this technique you could probably make my Police Force a lot deeper and enoyable.
