[FSPA] previously unknown pinball technique discovered?

[Dave Hubbard]

Can I make a request?  I'd like to see the camera stay in the cabinet while
these experiments are being performed.  I don't doubt the result, but I'd
like to see it settling in realtime, if you can find a way to keep your
phone/whatever from falling over inside.
