Our strategy would be to somehow push and lock the flipper, push the balls down the slot, then we will play defense on the top of the table to prevent our opponent from scoring in the funnel.
To execute this strategy, we came up with a concept of two rotating arms, and a rack and pinion playing defense on top.
The first arm will have a fixed length, and be swinging back and forth to push and keep the flipper in place. The second arm, will have two motors mounted on it. One to spin a screw and deploying the arm down to the balls, and another one to rotate the arm about the x-axis to push the balls down the slot.
The Third arm will move left and right linearly to block opponents' path to the funnel on our side.
Below are a few screenshots of the solid model of our concepts.
