Lucille Pinball

Meet Lucille Pinball.

In honor of International Games Month, my library makerspace had a pinball machine competition. They provided kits, and we competed for assembly speed and design. I was the only solo team (#Tiltin’Berle), and I ran out of time to decorate to the standard I would’ve liked, but hey – it is the best pinball machine I’ve ever made.

Some more photos:



Thanks for looking!

P.S.: Just in case no one outside my family remembers The Pants That Ate Fred Mertz

How cool! Love the theme and construction! And it’s very inspiring you left your house and went to the event. :upside_down_face::joy: I’m going to see what our library has going on in their maker space!

Thanks, everybody!

Trying to do more of that :laughing:

Thanks! Partial credit to my dad, who suggested Tilton Berle. We all rolled our eyes, but when I realized I could recast it as Tiltin’, I couldn’t resist the pun. Lucille Pinball was actually one of the other team name frontrunners, along with Pin-Manuel Miranda.
