I've never looked at that Mech but yeah that's the idea, mine will cover exposed ramp walls and Loop/lane guides.
Every game seems to have a 'JACKPOT POST' that post you always hit when shooting for & missing a Jackpot.
(TMNT I'm looking your way)
While I would normally place skinny standup target in these locations, they always seem to drift left & right messing up
the trajectory of the ball through loops/ramps...and Air Balls.
I can't see why a Post cant be a Super Double Jackpot

THE SUBWAY

Imagining this and seeing it work are two way different things

THE SUBWAYS!

The playfield is taking shape despite the hot weather .
I am deliberately distorting the videos to create a air of 'suspense' in regards
to the remainder of the game.Colour shall return soon enough

A little excited about this dual trough system.
The way it's setup it will allow for an actual challenge mode (there's 6) think like Gallager....

*Challenge example;
A shot is lit / you have to make it 4 times.
Only the relevant flipper works.
Balls constantly feed that flipper only.
Points for completing all balls launched.

Gone I'm afraid, it became a space issue.I have made 7 pinball machines since 2013 and I'm running out of room.
Definitely a 1st world problem

FIRST FLIPS

Very early days just testing shot entries at this point.

​THE LOOPS

This is the main feature of this game the two diverters which enable 4 lanes
to become *10 different shots
* 2x centre horse shoe shots not shown in the video.
Very pleased at this point with the flow

P.S. It's actually 11 shots forgot the Right Loop into what will be the Pops

Thanks man The geometry of getting shots to cross a void in both directions is really tricky
but it seems to have worked out pretty well.
The second shot in the video which is the lock/multiball to the upper scoop (to subway) is really satisfying.

THE DOLPHINS

Feeling sorry for anyone working with standard pinball formats today

Every animation has bang for buck (the poor player has to watch all of my shi++y videos)

To hot 44 C - but not to hot for DISCO

The Speakers
* from my other life as a PA speaker builder *
The speakers utilises the shape of the glass & the LCD screen - making this the drive point of
a horn loaded speaker.

Into the build box it goes...
Ah...the wires, switches, solenoids, monitors, lights etc etc

Trap door

ELECTROSAVE

Yeah that's right!

ELECTROSAVE

As with anything it's timing
Here's me getting used to this super fun mech 
It's so satisfying when you nail it

As far as the code goes for this thing -
It's player activated with the action button (DON'T PANIC)
- First press allows a pulse press or press & hold (one second time out)
- Then three more pulse only presses
- Then deactivates

In play it means you can try & bounce the ball back
or
Catch & throw the ball

Bounce

Catch & throw

TRAP DOOR

The trap door to the subway - Hyperspace & Lower playfield

Subway

This is first cab off the rank (mainly so I can start flipping again).
2 x Subways & 2 x Troughs & 8 balls in total.
The Subway is going to be a sub Routine running at all times to make sure any Ball that falls into the subway is returned to play to the Flipper of the players choice.

To the subway a ball goes, from the trough a ball is returned to play, after the point of no return switch is activated the subways Ball returned back to the trough...X2
Easy

Subway with magnetic switch 

​​​​​As usual I'm just spit Ballin' here but once placed it's reliable - the code is just looking for a pulse from this switch.
Do I trust a leaf switch for such an important task?
​​​​​​​
I will try an opto as well, perhaps the magnetic switch is better suited to a roll by activation in the subway.
