While I was searching for things to do, and finishing up my universe simulator, I though up the idea of creating a full-size electronic pong machine for two players.

There were a few other saves that had ideas like this, but none of them were ful scale. I came across the well-used concept of using the STKM and STK2 figures to control it, and started working on my system. I went through four models, each of them with flaws that made it so the ball could not make it across the screen.

Finally, I came up with my rough draft, but I had one problem.

I could not seem to make any working system for transfering the padle up and down.

The basic control mechanism was in place, but the electronics just would not work.

I would really appreciate any ideas for ways doing this.

Here is my current working model:

I will update it as it comes along, seeing as this as just an appeal for help on the movement mechanism.
