Pinball machine uses one NXT Brick, 4 touch sensors (3 of them are attached to one port) and 2 light sensors. Program is written in Java (LeJOS). After pressing orange button the ball is given and a new game is started. Every game has three balls total. If the ball is lost within 10 seconds after start, the ball is returned without losing one.

Scoring points:

- losing ball after 10 seconds - 50 points
- hitting both Red and Green Bumpers - 100 points
- hitting one of the Yellow Bumpers - 200 points
- getting ball to the Black Hole - 300 points

Black Hole opens up every 500 points, then player has 20 second to get the ball into it. If 5 seconds is left Black Hole's light starts flashing.

Combining two of my favourite hobbies together, LEGO and Pinball. :classic:

I'm quite a pinball enthusiast. :grin:

Wonderful work of art! It amazes me who someone can program an NXT to be capable of playing a game of pinball. Wonderful design too. It works very well and I'd love to have one of my own. :sweet:

Best regards,
JCC

There are 2 liftarms, one above the other, that keep the yellow platform in level, similar to this:

I'm amazed that you like the "artwork", but it indeed was difficult to come up with some idea in that low resolution.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! You combined two of my favourite things, I've always wanted to build my own pinball machine, maybe this would be a good way to go about it! Thanks for showing us this and giving me some ideas. :)
