It was Lego builder Bre Burns who created the huge LEGO pinball machine that it is over 2.5 feet (about 76 cm). I can understand what pinball machines are like by a single shot when I watch the following movie.

Benny's Spaceship Adventure, A Pinball Machine Made From LEGO - YouTube


Bre Burns who created the LEGO pinball machine appeared.


I used Lego mindstorm, pinball, rubber band and 15,000 LEGO blocks. Adhesives and screws are not used at all for assembly.


The whole picture of the table looks like this. It is considerably big because it is over 76 cm.


In the middle of the play field there is a humanoid Lego, which rotates and leads the ball to the right to the left.



In addition, there are also three bumpers made of tires.


When playing insert chari and coins on the side of the platform.


You can take out coins and lock out drawers where coins are stored if you rotate the handle.


Various elements are hidden on the platform, such as the area where white spheres come out.


Although it looks like a manual lever for hitting the ball, it is actually an automatic launch machine.


A button that moves the flipper for repelling the falling ball on the left and right sides of the table.


As you can see from the fact that the ball is launched automatically, the LEGO pinball machine has multiple machine parts installed. What is responsible for the operation of this machine is a block called "NXT" that controls programming blocks with various sensors. It is said that three NXT blocks are used in the table.


The NXT block seems to be easily removable.


Motor and sensors are connected to the NXT block that is mounted in the table, which realizes the operation as a pinball machine.


The inside of the table looks like this. It is a work that can not be thought that it is made by only LEGO that multiple parts are working complicatedly.



In order to earn points in the game, you need to have the ball hit on multiple targets prepared on the play field.



This is a target to drop down when hitting a ball called a drop target.



If you hit the target on the ball, the ball will be added to the play field and you will be able to aim for a higher score.


A spacecraft is installed at the top of the play field ... ...


Also on the side of the pinball machine is "SPACESHIP! (Spacecraft!)" And easy-to-understand letters are arranged.


So, Burns started playing on the LEGO pinball machine. I will put coins first.


Then, it shows the state that the key is released on the liquid crystal of the NXT block embedded in the table.


Pull the launcher and let go ......


The ball starts to be carried inside the table.



A ball that finally appeared in the play field after moving inside.


I will play while playing balls with Petit Petit and Flipper.



The number of balls on the play field and the score are displayed on the NXT block.
