Quoted from o-din:there would be a swinging target with a drop target on either side.
Cool idea, but won't you end up with two broken drop targets? (The swinging target may push the ball into the corner of the drop).
Also: for the cost, don't forget the labor cost, which is killer in an EM. More wiring needed.
I'm designing a stand-up EM arcade game currently. Will be assembling soon to test my schematic.
Quoted from o-din:There would be rubbered plastic posts between the swinging target and drop targets. Just like on most existing EMS
Most EMs don't have both side by side. 
Perhaps I am visualizing this incorrectly, and you mean the drops to flank the swinging target with quite a bit of clearance between the drops and the swinging target? Your write-up made it sound like the drops were right beside the target.
Gotcha. Yeah, the extra post should help a slow moving ball from getting in trouble with the target. You may wind up with a broken motor, though. Unless the target and post are mounted below and to the left/right rather than right beside.
