RetroBall - The new Super Pong Table

Hi Guys,

Well I finally have my latest project done, and it's on kickstarter!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1411349329/retroball-nostalgic-fun-for-up-to-four-players?ref=recently_launched

It's the new and improved version of the super pong table, which is more compact, sleeker looking and with improved gameplay.

It's a lot of fun to play in that you are able to spin the ball off in different directions and at various speeds depending on how you hit the ball.

When I get some time, I will post some pics of the inner workings

That looks pretty sweet! Was thinking of building a super pong table eventually. Would love to be able to make this instead...

I followed a link to a red rectangle box for the promotion outfit but the link wouldn't do anything?
I would love to purchase all the parts but the shipping costs are out there. To bad you couldn't get the entire unit built in USA or China then the shipping costs would be lower?
Do you accept Paypal? Bill Me Later would be nice as well. Would like the kit.

I have updated the shipping info on kickstarter. at the end of the campaign backers will be able to choose what shipping option they would like I.E. fast DHL (most expensive) or slow economy airmail (cheapest).

what do you mean by this?

Hey by the way, would you guys mind helping out a little by posting the retroball kickstarter link perhaps on your facebook or social networking sites?

It's been a little slow going at the moment...

Been very busy, just now I see your Kickstarter for the Retroball.

I'll be posting it on my facebook.

Good luck,

Thanks, although it's not looking to promising. I have a new project in the works. (which is much smaller and should appeal to a larger audience) Actually, I am quite excited about this one!

Disappointing that the RetroBall didnt achieve the Kickstarter pledge

Brad can you tell us where we can obtain all of the parts to build one? the Led panels, case etc?

Its all good. New and improved projects are already in the works.

As for the parts. I included links in the excel bom file. Are you going to make one

bitfogav · **Posted:** Sun Oct 21, 2012 11:06 pm

Oh I found the BOM file now :lol:

thanks Brad. I certainly am going to make one! :lol:
