Looks fantastic man! Guessing that you shot the machine without the facer glass installed?

 

[Tripp Green]

Thank you! Yes, the top glass was removed for filming. Jersey Jacks also added special functions to that allowed us to control the flippers and game modes with a wireless keyboard so we could get the jib over the machine without someone standing at the controls.

Cool to see this on RU. I used to work for Jack wayyy back in high school when he was still running Moncude Inc. You've made a super polished piece that really highlights how next-level these machines are. Some of those moves were hella creative. Nice work Tripp.

 

[Tripp Green]

Thanks Alexander! Yeah, the machines are pretty incredible pieces of engineering.
