Lemoore, CA
I'm in. Just bought mine this weekend. Unfortunately my robot won't reveal. I'll post pix in the next week or so!

Thanks, I think it's a bigger problem then this or a lubricated gearbox. The solenoid won't actuate when the reveal is supposed to occur. I can manually control the motor by pushing to the solenoid tab. I checked voltage coming in. It seems that both wires run normally high at 25v and when it starts the reveal sequence one wire is supposed to go low to ground. It never goes low enough to actuate the solenoid. Any ideas?
I don't have the manual, Can somebody confirm what pop bumper rings I need to order for this game? I would assume standard industry size but I thought I remembered reading about this somewhere........
Can someone please measure the height and shoulder width of the robot? I need the specs for a project and I'm not at home this weekend....

Just finished troubleshooting the robot reveal. Found the coil was damaged, unwrapped it, unwound one rotation and resoldered, works perfect. Just needed to adjust the leaf to stop just right.
Then I spliced some led uv strips. One in the gutter and one in the machine. I've got a buddy 3D printing a María and a "metropolis" plaque in glow in the dark
Quoted from zimjoe:I need to get to work on mine. It's so fun to play that I hate taking it apart.
I'm the same way, this one has a bum pop bumper that gets stuck and i've been lagging on a major overhaul.

Quoted from zimjoe:Dude, I dig it! I was thinking about a way to incorporate a plasma globe, but this is way cooler. Will be stealing this idea, thanks.
