Default 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.

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.

Default End zone

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

Question

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?
