what kind of layout? fan, three flipper or trudeau style crazy? flow, stop and go or something in between?

have you looked into the PROC? I have one set up with a custom system 11 driver board. it might save a bunch of dev time vs starting from scratch.

Can't wait to see your rig! what are you doing that the proc can't handle?

If you want to try out a standard proc, you're welcome to borrow mine.

when can I check this thing out?

how about some inline drop targets?

oh and maybe a spinner somewhere, should be a tight shot.. so when you hit it clean you get that special pinball feeling.

i'd like to hear about trough management

Good stuff on the ball management, it's been a while since i messed with my p-proc, but it was something i never had working to my satisfaction. The grand lizard ball lock will get the second and third ball bouncing up and rolling over the lock switches.. tricky unless you want to wait seconds for balls to settle.

I think most people would agree that the way wpc playfields slide out and flip up is superior to stern. I just built a cnc'd backbox flat pack.. check it out when you come by.

He mentioned that he was working on the electronics today, i'm sure he'll show the progress when he has the hardware design finalized.

How does the tractor beam toy fit into the playfield? looks like a huge mech.

I'm totally jealous of the huge pile of printed stuff I see you posting. Cool stuff.

For sure. when are you gonna pick up another machine?

Pick up a nib! They deliver to your door

Edit: to bring it back on topic. What's the next mech you're going to build/print?

Sweet! I love real ball locks.

That's some massive power

Did the cabinet get cut?!?

You gotta tape a spaceballs poster on the side of that bad boy!

You have a vinyl cutter!?

Yess

It's coming along. I left Wolfmarsh with some imitation shasta, so he can power through the night.

When you start poking your nose around this game, it's pretty crazy how many custom bits and pieces wolfmarsh has in this thing. He's got serious hours clocked on this project.

How does it shoot??!

Someone bring this man an IO board!

I got some time on spaceballs this weekend. I think everyone will be pretty happy when wolfmarsh brings it to sfge next year. The guy he got for the callouts sounds very professional. The rules are pretty early on, but already have some neat nuance and depth. I would be surprised if wolfmarsh doesn't have a handful of guys begging him to build them one after sfge 2018.

I wish i clocked more time on it.. way too many distractions in the wolfmarsh factory.
