Swishel Swashel

This is a cooperative obstacle in our electro-mechanical Screwball Scramble game. The three ramps on swishel swashel rotate back and forth automatically, controlled by a belt drive system underneath the playing field. The goal is to get the ball from one side of the ramps to the other. Initially, the ball rolls onto the first ramp and get stuck in the hole in the middle of it. When the second ramp lines up with the first ramp, one player has to press a button to momentarily stop the rotation, and another player has to press another button at the same time to actuate a solenoid which pops the ball out of the hole, rolling the ball down the ramp and onto the next one.
