Upgrading my board

Hello all,

I’m looking to improve the performance of my 5ft by 26in electric football board. My end goal is to have the board running at a higher frequency so that players can move quickly and efficiently on all areas of the board. It can possibly increase the chances of the players knocking each other over. Also I want to add a timer so that the gameplay can be more consistent. 

I’m currently using 4 motors (I don’t remember the exact model of them). 

And this is a very of how it runs. 

Please share your thoughts and advice on to how I can improve my board.

Impressive work of technology. Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for you. I am not that tech savvy. On my gameboard that is 30" by 60" I used 2 electromagnetic motors where the speed is regulated by the distance the motor is away from the playing surface.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll do my search about the electromagnetic motors. Do you have a video of how your board runs with these motors?

I put a GBN electromagnetic motor on my Ultimate (4x2') field and it works great.

Oh great! I have heard good things about their products but I don’t see them selling motors on their website right now.

I'll have to do some searching or maybe just make new one!!

You're right they aren't shown.  Maybe shoot them an email?  It's a great motor, one would be sufficient, and it just clicks to the underside of the board with magnets.

I did make my own remote switch for it using a momentary push-button switch and two regular extension cords.

Nice! I’ll definitely send them an email.
