why doesn't someone wire that extra button to activate the magnet to bring the ball up to the genie once power is illuminated, so the player would have to time the activation of the magnet, that could be really cool. I feel this is a greek tragedy. So much potential but JPOP is so unfocused he couldn't get it together and blew so much money in the process.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I admire his confidence, but I really don't think it's that simple.
I'm just a mechanical grunt - but even *I* know that when I do something as simple as a repair on a pinball mech, I have literally NO idea if the mech is going to work properly until I test it. Half the time, it doesn't, and I'll need to take it apart, adjust it, etc. Sometimes it takes many tries (just went through this with a THING hand).
My point?
there is no way in hell they can just throw some magic in the code and expect this Battle the Power ripoff to work in any manner as it was designed. It's never been tested. It's never been played.
By the grace of god, you may somehow get the ball to go up there. But from there? Yikes.
I am interested in whether or not there are actually magnets hooked up to that upper playfield.
And isn't that the tragedy. This contraption should have all been worked out and tested before building and taking orders on a game that centers on it. I mean the more I read through this thread, it is this mechanism that is likely the main issue that led to all the delays and dollars flushed down the toilet because he was having trouble working it out in the real world. Unbelievable. i just don't get how you sell something you haven't yet done a proof of concept on. It is absolutely crazy.
