[quote name=\'SamPrainito\' date=\'Jun 7 2005, 12:55 AM\']With my "Match Game" production complete, I'm on to my next project!
I've just started organizing a second annual "Price Is Right Night" for the American Cancer Society.
Most of the pricing games are being done large projection screens, however, by popular demand, I'm including Plinko in this year's show.
A family friend has offered to help me build a small scale version of the game, but only if he had blueprints to work with. He's not familiar with the game, so I'm not sure how helpful videotape would be.
As you can imagine, some of the main questions about building something like this are 1) what should the angle of the board be?, and 2) how far part should the pegs be?
I would certainly appreciate any suggestions! Feel free to post responses here, or email me directly at TVboy79@aol.com

For the chips, go to a sports shop and use air hockey pucks. Depending on how much money you're putting into the game, the cheapest you could go, is by using pegboard. Otherwise, particle board can work to.
For the angle, I go between 22.5 and 40 degrees. For the spacing between the pins, measure the size of the puck and add a 1/4th of it's size...
