For the strong museum presentation, I decided to bring my advanced visual pinball machine. This was because I was quite happy with my first visual pinball machine. I figured using what I could learn, I could make something even better. I liked my pinbox creations but I felt limited in my own ability to craft them. I felt like I didn’t have the skill to really iterate and enhance my physical machines in the given time.
Also, after attending the Maker Fair and being across from a Pinbox display, I saw how susceptible to damage they were after sustained play. This booth had around 10 machines and by the end of the day, more than half of them had been broken. I didn’t want to have to be repairing my machines on sight, so I knew I wanted to take one of my digital machines
