If you've ever considered building a custom pinball machine or re-theming an existing game, come visit the Multimorphic booth at Expo 2015. For the 3rd year in a row, we're hosting a custom machine exhibit to show off machines developed by some of our users. The machine developers will be there to show off their games and to answer all of your questions.

We'll also have a limited number of boards for sale. If you know you'll want to take some home with you, please PM me to make sure we bring enough. Products we'll have with us include:

P3-ROC (Our latest generation controller board)
PD-16 (16 drivers)
SW-16 (16 direct switches)
PD-8x8 (8x8 lamp matrix)
PD-LED (84 LED drivers)

Unfortunately our P-ROCs are back-ordered due to a large recent order, but we'll have more stock the week after expo, and we'll waive shipping for all orders received at Expo.

There are literally hundreds of custom projects out there using these products, and more are getting started every week. For detailed descriptions and documentation on all of our boards, visit http://www.pinballcontrollers.com.

Of course we'll also have two P3 machines on free play with Lexy Lightspeed - Escape From Earth. So you can experience first hand what we've done with our boards. For more information about all of the technological advances we've built into the P3 platform, come to our seminar at 1:15pm on Saturday (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/expo-seminar-david-thiel-and-gerry-stellenberg).

If you're going to the Pinball Life party on Friday, we can deliver your boards to you there as well. PM me to arrange delivery.

What a fantastic weekend!

Quite simply, the P-ROC community and the custom machines on display at Expo are absolutely awesome. I've heard from countless people that the P-ROC machines were the reason they came to the show and the clear highlight of this year's event.

I don't know how I've gotten so fortunate, but somehow I've managed to surround myself with some of the best, brightest, and friendliest people in the entire industry. They haven't just successfully all built show-stopper machines, they've also given back to the homebrew community in so many ways that I consider them one of the biggest reasons pinball is going through a successful resurgence and custom pinball development is becoming so common. I can pretty much guarantee that the large majority of the custom pinball projects you read about today would not be happening without the efforts of these folks.

Clockwise from their positions in the booth: Matt (Bonnema), Josh (Rosh), Michael (Mocean, Dave (Nelly), Terry, Scott (T-800), and Frank (luvthatapex2) are all rock stars. Together they've not just combined to deliver the beautiful and fun machines you saw at the show, but they've also helped too many other custom machine developers to count. They've offered their services (free-of-charge) to nearly anybody who's asked, and they've delivered custom wires and metalwork, software frameworks and tools, custom software dev, custom machine building seminars and how-to guides, playfield and cabinet artwork, and so much more. These guys are the reason the P-ROC is so successful (250+ unique projects and counting). Look around at all of the other custom projects, and products and tools being developed to make them possible, and you'll see their fingerprints all over them.

I am incredibly honored to be a part of this group, and I'd like to issue a public thank you to each these guys for making this journey so much fun. We started selling the P-ROC in April of 2009, and I never imagined how many new friends it would bring into my life and how thoroughly it would change the industry.

Along the same lines... Zitt: you are an amazing person, a brilliant mind, and a credit to the entire pinball industry. Your work on STMU is beyond reproach, and your willingness to share it with the world is admirable. My 2015 Expo experience would not have been the same without you, nor would the last 6 & 1/2 years of work on the P-ROC, P3, and custom machines back at home in Austin. You are a member of this family, and I was proud to have you and your machine in our booth at Expo. Can't wait to see what you do with Borderlands on the P3!
