Title: Stupid paddle question
Post by: monkey puzzle on March 22, 2010, 04:17:27 pm

I'm building a pair of paddles for a 1970s TV Pong type console which currently has analogue sticks. A stupid question I know, but could somebody please tell me the correct rotation for the paddles. i.e does rotating clockwise make the bat go up or down the screen?

I think this depends upon which side the control is for.
If it's the left hand control then CCW would be up and CW would be down.
If it's the right hand control then CCW would be down and CW would be up.

Just imagine how your hand moves when on left/right hand side.
