High-Tech Foosball Mod Project

JakeBullet writes: "Project: Take a standard foosball table and make it a little bit smarter. 1. The table should be aware of who's playing, the score and the status of the game. 2. Take the data from the game and use it to create a stats engine and player ranking system. 3. Project all relevant information about gameplay onto a flat screen. 4. Spend under $50.

    Not on my table. That's how the rods get bent. Spinning seems to be more common among people that are just starting to play. I think that once you get better at foosball, you just naturally stop spinning.
