Mini Pinball Kit

The Ben Heck Show team has been working on designing the mechs for the Mini Pinball Kit. Pinball games contain bumpers, ramps, additional flippers, drop targets, various displays, flashing lights, and habitrails. Designing a kit where mechanisms can be placed in various configurations can get tricky. We want the kit to be capable of as many configurations as possible, BUT we might have to narrow down which mechanisms are included in the kit. So we thought we'd consult you. What are your favorite mechanisms to be included in a pinball game? What would you like to see included in your kit? Do you have other ideas for the kit? Share in the comments below!

  • I would focus on these in this order as they would be easier than the mechanicals:

    "various displays, flashing lights, bumpers, and habitrails"

    The following pieces would be awesome, but harder to implement in my opinion:

    "ramps, additional flippers, drop targets"

     

    I would love to see a multiball mech but don't see it as a realistic package option.

     

    If this goes to Kickstarter, another point would be to make these pieces as either Stretch goals or Add-ons.
