Osprey101 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Man that looks awesome! Wish mine would come together so quick!
Administrators Dazz Posted January 1, 2013 Administrators Posted January 1, 2013 That looks crazy. Very well done and done really quick as well.
faralos Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 helps when you are handy with woodworking tools too I see! great job on the alley but on size relation how large is it? the actual alley looks to be about a foot off the ground but it's tough to tell are you gonna' put legs onto it then? or is that a table top model? or maybe you can lay it across two sawhorses
Osprey101 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 ...or maybe you can lay it across two sawhorses
Administrators Dazz Posted January 1, 2013 Administrators Posted January 1, 2013 lol, look at the background at his house... Do you really think he's just going to lay it across two sawhorses?
Content Provider rosve Posted January 1, 2013 Author Content Provider Posted January 1, 2013 Good idea Faralos, never thought of that.
Content Provider rosve Posted January 2, 2013 Author Content Provider Posted January 2, 2013 A little more progress today.
Content Provider Rascal Posted January 3, 2013 Content Provider Posted January 3, 2013 Way too cool, can you screw it up a little so the rest of us have a chance to make one that is as good.
Content Provider oooPLAYER1ooo Posted January 10, 2013 Content Provider Posted January 10, 2013 awesome rosve this looks like a nice relatively cheap,easy and fun project to make. now we need some more games for it. well done rascal too it looks cool.
Shakenbake Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 What kind of switches/sensors do you use on the alley for the pins? I want to build one of these real bad.
Content Provider rosve Posted January 15, 2013 Author Content Provider Posted January 15, 2013 I'm using standard pinball rollover wire switches. works great on a mini bowler.
Content Provider DeeGor Posted January 15, 2013 Content Provider Posted January 15, 2013 Is there an easy way to retrieve the pucks or is that what the kids are for?
Shakenbake Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I remember as a kid that the pucks would bounce back to the bowler.
Content Provider DeeGor Posted January 16, 2013 Content Provider Posted January 16, 2013 If they bounced, you could hit switches on the way back. Did they really work that way?
Administrators Dazz Posted January 16, 2013 Administrators Posted January 16, 2013 If they bounced, you could hit switches on the way back. Did they really work that way? They should be disabled on the rebound like they are on real machines.
Content Provider Rascal Posted January 16, 2013 Content Provider Posted January 16, 2013 The switches are disabled for a couple of seconds while the rebound puck is returned.
Osprey101 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 If they bounced, you could hit switches on the way back. Did they really work that way? On the real machine, there is a delay so that it scores only on the way down the lane, and not on the return. I have the schematics but have not taken the time to figure out what it uses to create the delay. But basically, whatever is going on that tells the machine you have taken a shot, takes just enough time for the puck to rebound past the switches.Either that, or there is an actual delay relay.
Content Provider rosve Posted January 20, 2013 Author Content Provider Posted January 20, 2013 Not much has been done on this project lately but at least the switches are in place now.
Content Provider Rascal Posted January 22, 2013 Content Provider Posted January 22, 2013 Those look like they will work great!
Mameman Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 way cool, sign me up for one of these builds. i may want to try the same using the p2k reflection effect. I saw the test image on Dazz's gallery and have seen similar on some commercial units. I NEED to build one does anyone have any community software available to do these games as yet or is everyone who is building this type of game still in the development stages indvidually with that also? R2 may need to go on the back burner
Content Provider rosve Posted January 23, 2013 Author Content Provider Posted January 23, 2013 Rascal is the mastermind behind all our bowler builds we are using his VP version of Ospreys real Bowling Alley game.
slydog43 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Rascal is the mastermind behind all our bowler builds we are using his VP version of Ospreys real Bowling Alley game. Can you provide a link to this software, I have not seen this great project before. I want one! Great job!
