Lego Pinball Machine V1-FINISHED!

Yes, its finished!! The majestic pinball machine is finished and will be filmed hopefully on Tuesday. I didn't do it today because it's night here and its just too dark. Since the last update I finished off parts on the ball dispenser and added a coin tray so I can get the profit. Unfortunately there are no pictures this time because I didn't want to spoil it so if you want to see everything stay tuned for the week. I also changed the pinball board so there would be more space to move the ball around and also bought some rubber bands to make the flipper mechanism. The flippers were a pain because they would jam often until I found a way to stop it to do so. I put two rubber bands per flipper so there would be more friction and would need more force to push which I like. Overall, this is the last update of the Lego Pinball Machine V1 and see you next time with new creations and Lego news.

Official Release Date: February 5th 2014

Lego Pinball Update 2-Almost There!

Its been a week since the last update and all that I can say is that its close to finishing. I have currently been working on this project once a week since I was very limited on time but planning to get it done this week. I have put in the flippers which do work well and tested them out with the reward system. Also the reward system will contain coins and will be dispensed if the ball makes it into the hole. This was also tested and did work smoothly. The main part to finish now is the ball dispensing mechanism which is extremely tall because it has to dispense the balls onto the pinball area. Everything else seems to be great and will be on Youtube within the week or so. Also I will need to get some rubber bands so the flippers work like real pinball flippers. Also I ran low on the yellow so I decided to add some grey bricks so that the color scheme was kept the same. Hopefully this will be the last update and will be presented on Youtube for a close up and see what this amazing machine is all about! Stay tuned until then.
