John Popadiuk on Ben Heck Show

(1/1)

RayB:
Short interview at 11:30 with pinball designer turned cat-lady, John Popadiuk:



Interesting tidbit he shares about designing in the real world (as opposed to with CAD software) and offsetting the slingshots.

Vigo:
Hey, the cat lady look is coming into style, soon it will be the big hipster trend.  :lol

Donkbaca:
Haha, hipsters:

my buddy:  "Hey am I a hipster?  I wear trucker hats and drink Pabst Blue Ribbon.  I always thought that made me white trash."
Me: " Well, can you kick anybody's ass?"
MB: "yeah"
Me " Then you aren't a hipster..."

Xiaou2:
I always thought that there was no real way to design a pinball on CAD. 

 To know where the ball will go most often, and how things will flow, seems to require a live test in a real partially built machine.

 I thought that they only used CAD  'After'  they had made a whitewood, to get specific measurements for duplication.

That would make sense.
