Robot playfield

Playfield

  • blue
  • black

Fingerprint: Robot Bridge electro-mechanical, giant blue-white robot head with pink spike mohawk at center, surrounded by ten numbered pop bumpers, translucent hot-pink wireform ramp reading robot bridge across upper half, bare tan woodgrain lower field with orange-red apron panels

Distinctive

A giant blue-and-white robot head with a fanned pink spike mohawk fills the centre of the playfield, ringed by ten numbered pop bumpers and a spray of magenta triangles. A translucent hot-pink wireform ramp reading ROBOT BRIDGE in white block letters sweeps in a long arc right across the upper half. The lower two thirds are bare tan woodgrain rather than painted art, with two flat orange-red apron panels at the very bottom. A ring of black numerals 1 to 10 on white discs forms a horseshoe around the robot face.

Setting

  • Black outer-space starfield with scattered yellow and white stars across the upper playfield
  • Tan and orange woodgrain ground across the lower playfield
  • Brown and rust craggy mountain or cave silhouette along the mid-left horizon
  • Pale grey bare cabinet side rails framing left and right

Symbols

  • Row of ten numbered discs reading 1 to 10
  • Circels reading 20, 40 and 80
  • A burst of magenta triangular spikes radiating from the robot head
  • Yellow starburst sun emblem
  • White and yellow star shapes in the black sky
  • Five narrow pink spike ramps in a row across the very top left

Notable shapes

  • A long arcing translucent pink ramp crossing the full width of the playfield, a five-pointed fan of magenta spikes above the central robot head, two circular saucer wells in the upper playfield, and a fan-shaped ring of ten pop bumpers enclosing the robot face

Art motifs

  • Translucent magenta wireform ramp
  • Yellow and magenta half-pipe ramp in the top right corner
  • Round saucer cups with blue felt rims
  • Blue wedge inlane and outlane plastics
  • Scattered black smoke and rock burst graphics around the pop bumper arc

Full description

Playfield in a bare cabinet with wooden side rails: tan and orange woodgrain across the lower two thirds, black starfield with yellow and white stars across the upper third. The dominant feature is a huge stylised robot head, blue and white with a pink grille mouth, round pink eyes and a pink dome, dead centre, magenta spikes radiating upward like a mohawk. Ten pop bumpers ring it in a horseshoe, each paired with a white disc numbered 1 to 10 in black. A fat translucent magenta wireform ramp reading ROBOT BRIDGE in white block capitals arcs from the left middle to the top right corner. Above it sit two round cups with blue felt rims and pink centres, a yellow-and-magenta half-pipe ramp in the top right, a pink starburst of ramp plastics across the top left, and an orange sunburst badge at upper left. Blue wedge inlane art with small cartoon aliens flanks the lower playfield, with two orange-red apron panels at the bottom, either side of a white card reading 3 BALLS PER GAME and FREE PLAY.

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the enormous grinning blue robot head in the middle of the playfield, with a domed yellow forehead gem and a radiating sunburst of rods fanning out behind it like a crown. A hot pink wire ramp reading ROBOT BRIDGE in white block caps arcs diagonally right-to-left across the upper half. Three fat pop bumper caps with red-yellow-green concentric rings form a triangle above the robot head. Two tall rocket ships painted on the playfield point inward from the lower left and lower right, and the whole surface is a vivid magenta-orange-purple alien crater landscape.

Full description

Full-length electro-mechanical playfield shot from above inside a wooden cabinet with chrome rails, photographed under glass with reflections. A hot pink/magenta wire ramp labelled ROBOT BRIDGE sweeps in a broad arc from the lower right up across the upper left. Three large pop-bumper caps with concentric red, yellow and green rings sit in a triangle across the upper third, below a row of purple and gold target banks. Dominant colours are magenta pink, orange-amber, mid blue and chrome/cream, on a purple-and-orange cratered rocky ground. Dead centre is a large grinning blue robot head with a yellow triangular forehead jewel, red eyes and a fanned crown of radiating metal rods tipped with pink orbs. Two illuminated arrow lanes curve up either side, flanked by rocket-ship illustrations. Three round red rubber-lined slingshots and two red-outlined oval saucers sit above the drained blue apron. Cream instruction cards along the bottom carry dense black text and score values.

Full description

Translucent backglass for an electro-mechanical four-player game, dominated by a huge diagonal 3D title in yellow-to-lime green block capitals with white and orange outlines and a heavy dark drop shadow, running from lower left to upper right over a purple starfield. Behind the lettering sits a chrome-silver domed robot head and segmented mechanical torso, its rounded head centred mid-glass with a riveted neck and ribbed shoulder plates. At lower left a bare-breasted woman with orange-red hair lies reclined across the robots dark metal arm, head tilted back and eyes closed, one arm flung out, wearing a striped grey-and-white sleeve on one forearm. Colour-coded rectangular instruction panels in pink, purple, yellow, green and orange run down the right and across the bottom, each with red downward arrows. Four white seven-segment score windows sit at the four corners, each paired with a circled white numeral on an orange disc: 1 top left, 2 top right, 3 bottom left, 4 bottom right. The background is deep violet sprinkled with white four-pointed stars and speckles, framed by an orange and purple border with a scalloped blue-and-white chain motif along the top edge. Art style is glossy airbrushed 1960s-70s sci-fi pulp painting.
