No doubt - Pinbot is the singular reason for my dedication to pinball

I found this first in the arcade below the student union
I have no direct evidence, but I will state this is likely the first real table I rolled the score at 9999999

It was slightly battle scarred, but mostly playable
Like all ramp games age makes ramp shots harder

One of the best shots on the game is the 100K drop hole from the plunger
Many Pinbots have a very repeatable sweet spot on this shot
This is one thing the sim makes harder - plunger control is more difficult in the sim

Pinbot is less complicated than a lot of 80s tables
That does not stand in the way of its greatness

The game has a great flow - 2 ball multiball, the up left kick hole for extra ball, ramp for bonus X, the planet sequence to special

I think the best part was the ball control
Except for outlane drains once the rubber nubs at the lane top wears out, I found this table had the best ball control of any I played
