MOTIVATION I have always
wanted a pinball machine.
I enjoy projects and building stuff.
I felt this would be challenging.

INTRODUCTION The earliest pinball style game
was made around 1750 to 1770 The first real machine was
manufactured in 1871 (WIKI) They were very popular in the
1970’s. To date, Sterns is now the only
pinball manufacturer.

PROBLEM STATEMENT Pinball machine are a dying
breed. There are few in existence for
public use and most are in need of maintenance (i.e. the Indiana Jones machine on campus.)

PROPOSED SOLUTION To build my own full sized pinball
machine. The initial goal was to use a
microcontroller to run the mechanical parts.
I needed to build a box to full size (26’x52’).
I needed to order specific parts.

PROPOSED SOLUTION Software for this project was simple
Just a few lines of subroutines was enough to get the needed data out.
Circuit design was almost as simple. Playfield design was a difficult task.
The playfield is large There were many holes that needed
drilled The parts needed to be placed in a
specific manner.

PROPOSED SOLUTION Testing was a step by step process. A lot of time was spent in checking
the parts placements. This involved making sure that all
solenoids actuated correctly. Also all parts had to be separated so that
the ball could move smoothly

RESULTS I did not complete this project to
my likings. Dealing with such large object is
diffulcult.
Include lots of images & relevant multimedia on (no dancing pink elephants)
Well, maybe 1 or 2 goofy images in the presentation are OK

CONCLUSIONS Building such a large device is
highly time consuming and it takes up a lot of room.
More time was needed to completely make this project work as to my expectations and I just ran out of time.

FUTURE WORK I would like to add more to this
project. Ramps, scoring, gutter lane scoring,
and multi-ball are items of interest. I have not decided if I will
continue working on it or tear it down.
