Quoted from roffels:

Thank you for sharing. I hope to have a custom table at some point down the road. Slowly accumulating the parts. I don't know if I've got the skill, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

A fully-custom machine is what got us started on this, and we realized that it was really hard to pull it off. Even with the tools that were available (which have been used to make really great machines), it required a ton of work to get a game playable.

So we started making the code we were writing more generic so it could be used on other machines, and eventually MPF was born. Now you don't have to worry about coding nearly as much, and can focus more energy on building an awesome physical game.

Maybe someday we'll get back to our custom project. There are soldered copper habitrails and crudely vacuformed ramps just waiting to be tinkered with again, but we're not done with MPF yet, so it will have to wait!
