Background

The Spring term of 2015 a section of the freshmen engineering class were assigned with the job of creating an arcade game. The arcade game that group 2 chose was a pinball machine. The main problem that was being addressed was creating the pinball machine with the limited materials: wood, metal, and electronic components. The approach that was being taken was a 2D sketch of the game, a CAD model, and then the actual construction of the game itself. The size of the game is limited to a space of  2’ x 3’. They chose that arcade game because it incorporated all the techniques and skills they learned that year.
