Do you mean the ones under the robot bridge? On mine the one on the right is a round orange target with Special written on it and the one of the left is a square blue target with what look like snowflakes and 8000 written on it. I'll take a pic over the weekend.

Is there anywhere that gives an idea of what the rules are for Robot? I get that knocking down the robots to spell ROBOT will give the Red special and the drops are to do with the Time and Orange special but how does the whole bonus time thing at the end of the game work?

Also, the flippers on mine seem to be insanely powerful....is that normal and can I adjust EOS switches to back them off a bit. I'm worried the game is going to smash itself to bits

Thanks, that makes sense Any idea on whether the super powerful flippers are normal and if so do most people nerf them a bit? I'm worried about smashing all the plastics and targets up at the moment and the ball goes up and across the robot bridge so fast it doesn't always register the switch to make the robots pop up!

Also, in relation to the flippers, do these Zaccs need different size rubbers? I put some standard ones on but now the flipper bat caps don't fit. I was also told by the previous owner that the caps had a habit of flying off mid game just due to the activation of the flippers, what do people do to make sure they stay on?

Mine still speaks in Italian which is pretty cool but I've got a mate to send me some new ROMs so it can speak in English instead

Thanks, I'm in the UK so will give one of the parts guys over here a shout.

I know this is probably a massive long shot but does anyone have any of the pop up robot head targets and tops that they'd be prepared to sell. Some of the tops on mine are a bit rough and I broke one of the pop up targets at the weekend from a ball strike Any leads would be massively appreciated!

In case anyone is interested, I'm documenting the shop out of my Robot on the UK pinball forum:

CaptainNeo - I'll be after your advice about what I can do re: the wear on my cabinet as it's gone around the flipper and start buttons as seems to be typical with this game. Being in the UK I don't have the option of sending you my cab for re-screening so any help or advice you can give me re: touchs up etc would be greatfully received

Thought that might be the case Thanks for the info though

That would be awesome Neo, I'd be one of your first customers if you can get that sorted I managed to secure a big spare parts haul from Belgium inc full set of complete Robot target mechs, complete drop target bank, loads of plastics etc so I've got loads of bits to choose from for the resto and am also less worried about my plan to take the game to some of the UK shows next year

Does anyone know whether you have to do anything fancy to LED a Gen 2 Zacc or can I just stick them straight in? I need to replace those weird little bulbs inside the Robot targets as most of the holders are missing so was thinking I could use pop bumper lamp holders with the wires (rather than the metal legs) and stick some LEDs in there. Do they run off the same voltage as all of the other lamps?

Thanks Neo, I'm going to buy all non ghosting for the CPU controlled lamps so hopefully it'll keep it to a minimum. Not decided whether to go LED or incandescent on the GI yet (deffo going LED in the backbox) so I'll probably have a play with both and see what looks good.

In terms of the grain of rice sockets, can you even buy those? Most of my robot heads were missing the original sockets so I need to find a suitable replacement which is why I was thinking about the pop bumper sockets with the 12in wire leads. I think I have a spare one somewhere so will do some testing this weekend

Finally finished the work on my Robot There's still a couple of minor tweaks to make but all in all I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I think that's more the sh*tty camera on my iphone, it doesn't look that bright when you're stood in front of it

He doesn't need it, he wants it

When you start a game on Robot it says "Challenge the robots of zah-car-ree-uh" so I'm assuming that's the correct pronunciation
