    ricochet sensor... need FAST help

    i'm in a tournament tomorrow and need to get this fixed

    part of the goldish stuff on the sensor has came off and doesn't complete the circuit..... i know that this is the problem because i've used other items to complete it and it does respond.....

    so i need something to use to complete this circuit and i need it fast
    please help

      i doubt it on the spray paint cus u could mess the whole thing up. I think that if you have a spare small wire like the wires running fromur battery to the circuit. You should be able to cut a small enough or large enough peice of that wire and sauder itonto the circuit. The wire is copper and thats gonna be aboutyour best bet for this. Now I bet you prolly dont have a saudering iron(SP)
      you mighttake tweazers or needlenose pliers and try to pinch it onto the circuit. maybe glue but i would not try glue till last.

      Good luck with it.

        it's not a circuit board.... no saudering...... what was there was some sort of paint, or just looks like it... so it's not a wire like from the board to the rotary motor

        it needs to be flexible, light, and durible enough because this is the tab sensor that makes contact with each ball as it goes pass

          Try a pencil, scrap the thing down with the graphite and it should work. I use this method in unlocking AMD processors for computers, to overclock them. Bring the pencil to the tourney though it might need to be reapplied every once and a while.

              When you get back, just send it to Ricochet, they got AGD style customer service. My sensor went bad on the old style rico, and they sent me a newer incompatable sensor, so then they sent me a whole new hopper! But anywho, I'm sure they'll send ya a new sensor, if not a whole new hopper,
