Lego RCX Mindstorm - AITeL Pinball

A short clip of our school project which involved making something of Legos to demonstrate LeJOS (Java) and RCX Mindstorm, and this is what we presented; A fully functioning pinball-machine with sensors that register different points for various triggers (using sensors relying on light and touch).

Thanks: Ole-Magnus, Kirsti, Geir-Kristian, Erik.

Oh, it's actually rods that are fitted with a gear and some rubber band, kind of resembling a Z-form. When we pressed the rod/button, we actually tensed the rubber band and used it to pushed the flippers upwards.

Kind of hard to explain without some kind of schematics, but I hope it makes it a little clearer.
