Wire Fruit Machine

Here's a video of my latest contraption in action:

The basics are based on the Self-Balancing Panel by Orb, with a modification to make the plate balance at any angle I tell it.

The randomness is generated using three random time values that cause each reel to stop after each value expires.

If you're lucky enough to win (one in sixteen chance), then multiple items spawn from the win chute for your pleasure, along with some Half-Life music.

The body is made from Tiled props using the PHX metal plate material. The four items are all Counter-Strike: Source props (I think), which are bananas, oranges, watermelons and turtles.

This is my first 'finished' model, I intend making a v2 with better stopping, hold/nudge features, and more items. Any good ideas and C&C would be appreciated.

Thanks for watching!

I remember seeing this on FP.. pretty creative. Would have been nice if you would have decorated the machine a bit, but otherwise it seems to work really well.

I agree with beer. It's really creative. You should make it smaller and more compact.

Cool, looks good.
