I used squares of wood to create a handle and hitter piece, which was held with a screw

The Launcher launches the ball to the top of the board every time it’s used

Both of our bumpers were having a problem where the score would increase, but the relay wouldn't trigger. You said that it was okay.

Two screws are placed to hold the 3D-printed bumper piece. There's two pieces of wood under the board that holds the screws in place, and there's a solenoid screwed into the board with a mount. On the board and under the bumper itself, two pieces of copper place are placed with wires connected to them.

If the ball hits the bumper, it would hit both pieces of tape, which would connect the circuit. If the circuit is connected, the solenoid is triggered. Once it's triggered, the code will read "Bumper # pressed."

The ball interacts with the bumper, which slams down when it renders a ball, and ejects the ball out

I created a mount that would encase the switch and target under the board, which is screwed into the bottom of the board. 

When a ball strikes the target, the switch will be clicked, which increases the score on the scoreboard.

When the ball hits the target, a it causes a level to tilt backwards, engaging the switch and increasing the score on the scoreboard

On the top of the board, many identical flipper pieces on the top were printed with the Glowforge and glued together so the flippers would be tall enough to hit the ball. On the bottom, I created a mount that would keep the solenoid in place. I created a plus symbol on a wooden block that goes through the board that holds the top and bottom pieces. When the plus sign rotates, the flippers on top rotate aswell.

When the button corresponding to the flipper, the solenoid is triggered, which rotates the plus symbol on the bottom of the board, which would cause the flipper on the top to rotate.

When the button controlling the flipper is pressed, the flipper rotates towards the game field which sends the ball to the top of the board

I created the encapsulation of the servo using Maker case, and I used Onshape to create the pig that rotates.

When one of the targets are triggered, the servo will continuously rotate for a few seconds.

Once one of the targets are hit, the servo rotates which is connected to a pig

I used Onshape to create the press-fit for the Scoreboard.

Once the Pinball Machine is turned on, there is a welcome screen, followed by the name of the game, "Angry Birds." Afterwords, a screen displaying the score and the number of balls left is shown, which change throughout the game. Once you run out of balls, a "Game Over!" screen displays, and the game starts over.

The scoreboard displays a welcome screen, the name of the game, and the players score and lives left, which change throughout the game

I connected two LED strips to each other, so that both of them react with one another.  I used 4 of these two LED strips throughout the gameboard.

There are four targets on the game board and 4 LED strips. If one of the targets are triggered, one of the LEDs is illuminated a specific color for a few seconds.

The LEDs are illuminated once one of the targets are triggered, leading to a more visual gameboard

I used Onshape to create an online representation of the entire board, which displays where each component would be, as well as the relative dimensions for each.
