Quoted from Blindseer:Anyone who is scared that the node 10 board issue will happen again is there an option to disable the motorized ramp? Would it default to raised? Does your game compensate with the time machine?
Just asking as a temp alternative/preventative fix.
Node 10 issue seems to be an either you have it or you don't problem. The games where it blows, seem to keep blowing in short order after replacement; whereas, if your game hasn't blown after a couple months, then it's probably not going to.
My Rush is up to 1000 plays, and node 10 board is still fine. I'd expect it would have blown by now, if it was ever going to blow.
Also, the default ramp-motor position is down. So if the ramp is disabled in the settings, then the ramp will always be down while you play. Ramp down all the time is not a fun way to play.
But maybe you could find a way to rig the ramp upright fully, but I wonder if the time machine magnet would be disabled too, since the game would assume the time machine would be impossible to hit with the ramp shut off in the settings. But it would probably at least allow the ball to pass through, even if it didn't hold the ball.
