End of Semester Summary

I spent a lot of the semester working on the electrical components that use solenoids. This was very exciting because it is the main part of the pinball machine. That being said, I am still finding it difficult to generate the appropriate amount of force (130N) to hit the ball. My next step is to work with transformers and relays to help with increased voltage.

I also worked with improving the aesthetics of the pinball machine. There is now a second story (with lights which glow once a certain score is reached) and a habitrail. 

​Next semester I want to integrate all the components and add a belt to return the ball to the start when it goes out.
