Planetary Pinball - Bump. Any progress on getting the Pinbot ramps made?

I never heard anything from Planetary - I guess they don't want to deal with it. I gave mine to someone who tried to write a printer program for it. One big problem may be the program he uses, but the arcs of the ramps are not consistent - if you look down from the top, you can see that there are various angles of the walls. Every section had to be "redone" to get the correct arc. He gave up since he could not get it "perfect".

I started to look for a modeler who could make an injection die, but that quickly became cost prohibitive, let alone the possible C&D crap. So for now, that's out. I ended up buying a BOP ramp that I am going to install.

I am not done trying, but this is slowly going on the back burner, along with other projects. I am, however, partially finished with my Theremin! Hope to have that completed before summer.

Nothing but radio silence means the project is dead?
