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'd imagine that with a pinball game that it takes a fair amount of trial and error in order to end up with a playable game. If it is going to be totally customisable, then I can see the base board ending…
