Waiting for the monster board.
 

A short video of a figure of Jim Brown tweak by Norbert Revels on the first board that I have build.

board
 

This is not the board I'm working on.

That is huge. How big is the one you are working on now ?

big board
 

67'' x 34'' = Monster board :eek:

board needs 2 motors
 

hey i like your board but it really needs 2 motors cause he starts out running fast and then barely makes it into the end zone. the board has to be running the same way both ways for the game to be exciting. but it needs 2 motors 1 on each side. it's too big for 1. i like it though.hlmt$

two motors
 

There is two motors but I have to make some adjustments.

End zone
 

You see in one end the motor is closer to the frame, I may have to move it just a bit.

I saw the article in Tweak Magazine about the new electric football game by
Hawthorne. I don't know anything about board construction, but the article
explained the motor on their board was centered at the 50 and had fingers or
"legs like a spider" touching the board to create the vibration more evenly.
The motor however, was not attached to the board a la Miggle. I guess it's
possible to do the same thing with two motors I would guess around the 25
yard line each, but how do you keep the vibration from cancelling each other
out?:confused:

true
 

But the motors I use are different. To begin with I had four motors, two where place near centerfield. It did not perform. it works much better with two motors. I will move the motor at the end that is slower and adjust my screws that support the board at the 25. I will see the result.

This is fun adjusting a board. One end is perfect the other end needs to be improve. By the way, I use double side adhesive foam tape. The motors are well attach to the board and are easy to move if I move them around to adjust them.
