I was playing multiball and shot a second ball into the VUK as it was shooting another one up. One of the balls got stuck under the plastic.

Is your scoop moving all the way to the right before the ball is ejected?

I think so. It's never happened before. I think it's just because a second ball went in as the first one was shooting upwards.

Awesome! Total fluke! Leave it there, and add a new one!! It can be your "lucky" ball!

Great idea. Wish I'd thought of that before I took it out. It was a total fluke.

I am sure there is a scientific explanation for this.

Lets asks Sheldon, wait, on second thought, maybe not.

Sheldon: Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I'm stupid!
Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Plenty of air balls in ST. Who know where it will end up.
Another stuck place is under the Warp ramp.

Need to figure out the source of the airballs and minimize. I know the drop target is one (pinbits has a fix for this). Not sure of the exact source of the others. This game is soo fast.

Make sure the flipper rubbers are seated correctly. I always check that first when games are airballing. Single drop targets always cause airballs. Think transformers, sopranos, T2, they all airball.

I agree there are a lot of air balls in ST, however, that isn't what caused the ball to get stuck where it is in my pictures. It was the VUK kicking up two balls at nearly the same time during multiball.

Nope, got it stuck on top or the rotating scoop yesterday for the first time though.

Haven't had that one happen yet. Was it during multiball, with multiple balls hitting the scoop?

#13 10 years ago

Yep and was found put back in play during the ball search

Just had a bizarre one! Check it out. I don't know how it got there! My son spotted it.
