Why does everyone put the trackball in the middle?

I don't see a problem with this guy's design.  It has a different priority than most panels and thus a different set of requirements.  If most of the gaming is single player stick games then having the player 1 stick in the center is making solid use of the centerspace on the CP.  He is making primary use comfort more important than symmetry or two player comfort.  I think it makes perfect sense given his projected usage of the cab.

But how do you play Centipede on that design?

for my cocktail cab, I'm actually going to have one end of the machine dedicated to vertical(sp?) games that use a joystick, and the other end will be dedicated to trackball games.  The biggest question people ask me regarding this, is "What if you want to play 2 players on the cocktail game?

Well, I set it not to flip the screen.  And I'm a single guy living in a loft.  It's primarily a 1 player cab!

Although I do have head-to-head controls along the side of it for games like street fighter and stuff!
