The components used to create this was a wooden screw and laser-cut designed wooden pieces and springs in the front and the back of the launcher. We did this because this material needed to be very durable, so we chose a metal base for this design of this component. The function of the launcher is to be able to hit the ball when the user wants to.

The Bumper is made up of a 3D printed component, which has two holes that were made to accommodate two screws. The function of the bumper was to press the ball down when the m, metal ball completed the circuit with changing the direction of the ball and where it goes. The code states that when the circuit is closed, then it reacts and tells the sulinoid to react to and pulls the pig down onto the ball.

The function of the flippers allows you to hit the ball to the top of the board. The main function of this component is to enable the player to move the ball around the board. We made the flipper by using an Onshape design and continued to stack up the design until they were in a 3D Model. We cut the wooden pieces that allowed for the best hitting power as well as the strength to hit the ball to the top of our pinball machine. The code states that if the button is pressed then move the flipper if eles dont react.

This was an Angry Birds-themed scoreboard. It was made from wooden lazer -cut pice of wood that allowed for machine screws to be used to better allow for an easier fit into the score board that is necessary for the design. It function is to count and display the number of points that the player has during the game.

The target was made to increase the score when the Ball hits the target. We made this on Onshape , and then we had to put it into our machine. We see the design on the pig to match the theme of the project to. We used Wood Pices as well as screws and wood glue to better fit the diffrent machines that better allowed for the function of the component. This component works with the LEDs and the servo components and interacting with this helps and changes how some thing interacts with the board.

This is a component that reacts to the different targets on the board, it used as a fun and aesthetic way to improve the player exoeriance

This is the servo component. This is used to show the player interaction when a target is hit. We used laser-cut wooden pieces from Onshape as well as machine screws and wood glue to keep it together. We also used wood screws to attach the servo horns to the design of the king pig. The function of the code is to help change the direction of the pig when the target is hit. This rotates the sevvo components in a specific degrees.

For my project design, there are many things that we considered for the theme of our pinball machine. In the end, we chose the theme. Of angry birds>We used a vinyl to put on our board and different objects on the board to make our theme better
In all gameplay play we see that all of our components work together and make a good Combination of components and themes. This was the end Goal for all of the Pin ball Machine
Out of all of the classes that I take, the engeneering class is the hardest to take and challange. Doing the pinball machine was no different. The hardest part of the pinball machine was the amount of time that was needed to do the different components during the school year i think that the componets breaking was another problem . One important skill that I have learned is better communication with my partner during this collaboration and project. I am most proud of the result of my project and being able to complete the project going into summer.
