This is a video tour of the incredibly impressive full-size pinball machine built out of K’Nex by Youtuber Tyler Bower. The machine stands 7-feet tall, 5-feet long, 3-feet wide, has automatic scoring and nine unique features including ramps, trap doors, multiball, and a mini pinball playfield. Three motors (including a corded power drill powering the machine’s 10 chain lifts) supply all movement in the machine. That…wow. I can’t even begin to fathom the ingenuity involved in building something like this. It really is worth a watch. If you’re interested, there’s some more info on the video’s Youtube page. If you’re uninterested, well, we clearly weren’t a match anyways because I’m a pinball wizard and I only roll with other pinball wizards and witches. To the arcade! “COVID.” Dammit.

Thanks to my dad, for training me to become the pinball wizard I am today.
