Wow, this looks like a fun project, I look forward to the progress and might
even take a stab at this myself. A have a bit of a passion for old pinball
machines... although I did sell my Apollo PB from 1967 to make room for Lego.
Would be ironic to build one in the brick. I would like to suggest you might
want to try the new ball in the recent Harry Potter sets. (4767 - Harry and
the Hungarian Horntail)
Its a bit smaller than the sports balls but it has a bit more weight to it
due to the magnet in it.

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t want to go buy the HP set just for the ball
(must be the dragon egg, right?) so I’ll wait ‘til it pops up at Brickshelf. The
magnet in the ball *may* be useful for inductive sensors or maybe some magnetic
contacts I have somewhere... But probably it won’t work due to it will be too
dependant on which direction the ball is aimed. Maybe an electromagnetic ball
lock is more realistic?
As I never got on that Technic train, it seems I have a lot to learn. Right now,
I’m experimenting on a motorized side lane kickback. I will also have a look at
how LED’s do behind clear panels and other stuff.
