Not this weekend!!! That's why we are escaping to NYC, for comfortable 40 degree weather.

Thank you for sharing in so much detail. The proximity instead of mechanical actuated switch idea is great! Do you think there is a risk that phantom switch hits occur or are they pretty focused?
Quoted from Zitt:Won't know for sure until the whole system is together and playing.
My gut says no; as the ball has to be within 12cm of the sensing coil to trigger it.
12 cm seems like a long distance, but I suppose you can tune the sensor for different detection ranges based on what little I can read from the datasheet.
Quoted from Zitt:Sorry - meant 12mm. IE less that 1/2 inch.
I think at best right now; I saw a little more than a 1/4 of an inch.
Sounds MUCH better! I really hope the design works out, it sounds like a much better switch option than ones that need a physical tuning every so often.
regarding the sleeves, my prediction will be that Zitt will remind us that it needs to be correct to the Mirror Universe.

I've done a few drop sets now and I've done it both ways. If the springs look ok and haven't been mangled/hacked I'd leave the original on and see how it functions after the rebuild. The most important thing in my drop rebuilds has been to get everything very clean so they operate smoothly.
Quoted from Zitt:Thanks to all who signed up on hackaday.io. I seem to be in 12th place.
7 skulls vs 22 for the leader. Can I become the leader with your help?

Done. I hate signing up on stuff but this site was very painless and quick.
Quoted from Zitt:I was actually surprised there were no "hell yeah, bring it to Chicago" comments. As a result; my desire to go has cooled rather significantly.
This might need it's own thread to warrant the appropriate attention.
