Love the side art- outa the park!!!

Did you find still shot/images for the side art Minions and then trace and layer colors to cut the vinyl? Or is someone on your team a great artist?

The subway is cool- but is the plan to do something under there with the window up top? E.g. Will there be some type of mini game down there? Or just a cool window to watch your balls!

Finally- any plans to incorporate the mutated
Minions from The second movie? Unsure how you could do it but... Wow if you could mutate bob and have shake with a shaker motor and require that you "fight" Bob to win that would be amazing!! Could you turn him purple with lighting?? Not sure how to do the hair and the rest but just the thought of him
Mutating and going nuts in the middle of a game has me cracking up just thinking of it.

Hi,you did not read the entire topic.
The upper mini playfield magnet ball lock that was located in the left ramp in world cup soccer is going to be moved to the under playfield, so you can see the balls in lock and if lock is not lit,the ball rolls through the subway playfield, with some light and sound effects.
The house of gru will have a front door that opens if you shoot the purple hole on the playfield...then you have to grab the (optics)fart blaster, that is resting on a bracket on the side of the cabinet and shoot the pop up purple minion at the front door, which closes if you shoot the purple minion.
Bob on the playfield will have a crown and a kings cape and just be king bob.
His eyes are going to be the lights for the 2 targets in front of him.

We bought a new toy this week!
And we decided to make it a newton ball response toy with a switch.
Moving stuff on your playfield means fun

So to be clear, the ball is mounted to the playfield and cannot move,when it is hit by the ball in play, the energy goes through the newton ball, into the vehicle that will move and will activate the switch behind him.

Making a slot for the vehicle so it does not move all over the place and it will be accurate enough to activate the switch.

We made a little highway for the vehicle just for fun,and added a shark fin to the vehicle so it moves along the slot in the playfield.

And it works like a charm.
For now the switch says "beedo - beedo"
We are superhappy with our new moving toy!

nice, my only question is will that toy hold up from being bashed by the ball over and over in the same spot?

Very cool. Will it eventually be metal posts supporting the captive ball? Might hold up better

No, we got this exact idea from theatre of magic, you cannot break this.
If it is good for bally, it is good for us.

No, it won't so we bought 25 spare vehicles and put them inside the cabinet if breakage occurs..

This is absolutely amazing! The newton highway shot is a nice touch! But how tight does it make the shot up to the kicker ramp to the upper playfield?

We actually have a lot of clearance for the upkicker shot, as you see, we made the captive ball like TOM...no protector posts,so the ball actually has tremendous space for that shot.

Next up we started on a mold,bit of cardboard, adding duct tape,just to get it right the first time.
There needs to be a ball hole also, so the ramp can feed the kick out.
