Here's a quick preview on the test version of the one-way gate.
It's not nearly as slimmed as I would have hoped, but without special wire bending tools it's impossible to bend smaller angles. The wire is tough!  |
| 1) Partially assembled gate. The gate has changed since this photo was taken, will post update soon. |

| 2) Position on the playfield. The switch registers hits from front and back but will only allow balls to pass through from the bumper area. |
Would that gate be confusing though with the arrow insert pointing towards it?
ReplyDeleteKeen for more shots of the playfield, I think you have done an amazing job of the artwork.
Quite the opposite, actually!
ReplyDeleteThe gate acts as a stand-up target from the front. Without the gate/switch/target the arrow would flash indicating a shot to the bumpers (although in reality - it would be the upper level). So having the gate in place solves a lot of problems that I had to compromise on earlier.
There's quite a few shots of the playfield, but I'll post detailed shots and rules descriptions in a future post for sure! :)
