I was watching a 2013 panel with Python Anghelo
and he was mentioning "his engineers" were working on something with the speed and power of pinball that would no longer be a 'wrecking ball' and was patent pending. I didn't see any newer patents than 2000 for him. I'm unfamiliar with who was working with him around that time so wanted to know, any idea what their method or preliminary thinking was?
