Hello,

On my R&B the skillshot doesn't work 90% of the time - the ball just goes all the way around the top rhino loop. I know there is a ball stop mechanism that's supposed to stop the ball from doing this and it works about 10% of time - the other 90% of the time when I launch the ball the stop actually lifts up right before the ball gets to it and the ball just goes under it. I'm thinking a switch problem somewhere but I don't know what the game thinks is a ball launch vs just hitting the ball from the flippers and letting it go around.

Thanks for any guidance!

That gate is also down in some other modes. I think super pops is one of them and triball auto-launch too.
You might want to test if it is only the skill shot that is a problem or it always happens.

Not sure about super pops but I know it's down on triball auto-launch.

Think I found the problem! The shaft that goes through the drop target reset mech had fallen out (missing e-clip) so I guess the machine saw the downed targets on ball-launch as "missing the skill shot".

I know that is an old one but for those who have the same issue, I can confirm that if you have an issue with f.e. a switch that closed the contact when you fire the ball, the gate will open an you missed the skill shot.

It happened to me when the blue „B“ standup target, left side left ramp caused issue that issue. Adjusting the contact or replacing the target solved it.

Best
Tom
