Quoted from jgentry:Sounds like the auto plunge is definitely a little weak or could be slightly misaligned and not getting enough power on the plunge. Mine hits the crate hard enough to bounce around a little and often hits or enters the pops. If you could post a video it would be helpful.
wow that sounds like the best play on the plunge get the crate and spin the spider most players just try for the spider / valid playfield on plunge
