Glad I found this comparison between the two. I was leaning towards the DIY Star Wars because of the few dollars less but now the few extra dollars is well worth the Rokr Pinball Machine. Thank you for sharing this video.
One could buy both and replace the electronics and bumpers of the Star Wars with the Circus machine's. I guess it would need some modding to fix some of the design issues though.
NAw I would replace with some relay logic .... I say this a lot in the video i see of these machines, I don't think people know what I am talking about most of the time so I just get puzzled looks like 'go away strange man' lol. Here is an example of the description of how relay-logic works in pinball machines ua-cam.com/video/E3p_Cv32tEo/v-deo.html . Believe it or not - by hand or with 3D printer/laser - you can build all the components to make your own relay/switch/bumper system at home. its not only the simplest thing you can build its the most complex at the same time. lol.
The rokr table feels empty. I wish it had more corridors for the ball to travel. Pinball without slingshot is not pinball imo. And perhaps the angle of the table should be decreased to reduce the speed of the ball. I find is too fast
I think what you have there is a knock off someone did to make money off of Rokr success? Might explain why it was hard to find. Also . if ignore the finish details and squint the machines are identical.
I still want to dump all this new-fangled voodoo they do with electronics now-a-days and go back to using relay-logic circuits for the guts of my Pinball machines.
It's on Amazon currently at 144.00 with 25.00 coupon thinking of buying but still at 119.00 I'm quite not at the right budget to buy. So I'm hanging on the fence to wait a bit longer. It does look pretty awesome though I'm glad too it has at least one piece of star wars music in it.
@@chrislange1212 The fact that it was hard to put together is a plus for me. "More Sanding Mom"!!! lol by that I mean 'sanding to fit' is personally very satisfying and makes the build more personal.

Glad I could help!

I'm sure it could be done. 👍

Pretty darn close for sure.
The Star Wars one…is there a copy of the manual somewhere? I’m searching high and low and can’t find it.
Not that I'm aware of.

Have you gone back to figure out why the 2 bumpers dont work. (Cross wires?)
Yeah, I think it's an issue with my circuit board.

10:30 whats the name of this song
It's called "Joyful Ride" by Simon Jomphe Lepine. I got it from Storyblocks.
