just heard this idea from a friend..... that spray paint conducts electricity.... any thoughts?

[Kellen_p8nt]

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,

well.... i ended up not going to the tourney but no worries

i've decided that i'm just going to intellifeed my intelliframe to my ricochet
that's right... intellifeed my ricochet
i'll let ya all know how it goes tomorrow after i get i chance to be a mad scientist... pics and all, hopefully

yea i know, it's no big deal... but i get to do more work with my mag
