Product Detail
Introducing the most delightful pinball machine ever! This amazing kit allows you to build a unique pinball machine that uses delicious, edible gumballs as pinballs. First, follow our easy step - by - step instructions to assemble the machine. Next, set up the targets and obstacles on the playfield. Then, while you're honing your pinball skills, test and refine your design. Try to hit the targets with the gumballs to score points. Watch as the gumballs zip around the machine, bouncing off bumpers, spinning spinners, ringing the bell, and gliding down tracks. Can you launch the gumball up the ramp and into the goal to win your sweet reward? The pinball machine features a spring - powered launcher that sends gumballs onto the sloped playfield. As they roll down towards the trough, they interact with various obstacles. The flippers above the trough are controlled by buttons on either side of the machine, letting you flip the gumballs back into the playfield. Different targets around the machine offer different point values when hit. A central ramp can be rotated to direct gumballs into three elevated playing areas and finally down the winning ramp, where you can claim the gumball as a tasty prize. When gumballs fall out of play into the trough, an Archimedes screw mechanism stores them and moves them back to the launcher for a new game. By building and playing with this pinball machine, you can learn about physics and mechanical engineering concepts like force, motion, collisions, and simple machines. The kit comes with approximately 45 delicious gumballs (99 grams).
Using this pinball machine is super easy. First, assemble the machine following the step - by - step instructions in the kit. Make sure all parts are properly connected. After assembly, set up the targets and obstacles on the playfield as you like. To start a game, place a gumball in the spring - powered launcher and pull it back to shoot the gumball onto the playfield. Use the buttons on either side of the machine to operate the flippers and keep the gumball in play. Try to hit the targets to score points and aim to shoot the gumball up the ramp and into the goal for a sweet prize. When gumballs fall into the trough, don't worry. The Archimedes screw will move them back to the launcher for a new round. As for maintenance, keep the machine clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down after each use. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they might damage the machine. Also, store the machine in a dry place to prevent rusting or other damage. And remember, the gumballs are for eating, so enjoy them when you win!
