    Self Centering - Magnetic Levelling Plate
    Been thinking about this for a while now and
    decided to have a crack.
    This is basically a 'Smash Toy Plate'
    While I only have 1 switch attached ATM
    The idea is to have Universal hit recognition like a
    Joystick depending on the angle you hit
    ( the captive ball) SmashToy.

    The Captive Ball on this unit is mounted to the top plate -
    But could be mounted via a standoff to the bottom plate -
    with a hole in the Top plate big enough to allow the ball through.
    Basically the top plate being the Playfield itself.

    Little bit more work today on this crazy thing

    Mounted 3 switches and tested - with magic 'code' this means a viable 5 switch responses.
    Groovy soundtrack too
