Tuesday Tip

Never take a mathematics course over the summer.


I may start posting again come August, when I finish this contemptible class.

Pinball

I like pinball.

I'd like to build a machine, like this table,

Cabin Fever


Or this one,

Coconut Island


I have 3 problems however:

Time - I have none of that.

Money - Sadly I think I may have more money than time (and I don't have much money).

Space - If you have a pinball table, it should be seen and played (especially if you built it), I don't know where I would put a pinball machine.

Despite these (HUGE) drawbacks, I think I'm going to give it a shot. Maybe I can get a professor at school to sign off on it as a Senior project. Maybe not.

We'd like something that looks at good as the top table (video), but a little more complicated (probably still less complicated than the bottom one) for our first foray into pinball engineering.


Currently we are trying to design a table using Future Pinball.

Maybe I should just play golf instead. Who knows?
