Coverage

Partial

Real evidence exists, but authoring requirements are still missing or in conflict. Verify before shipping a table.

Completion88%

Progress is derived from the fixed author-readiness requirements. It helps rank unfinished work, but only a 100% author-ready definition passes the publication gate.

Mechanisms

Logical assemblies with their actuators, sensors and observed behaviour. Click a chip to jump to the address it refers to.

Pinbot's visor

mechanism.visor

Motorized

Pinbot's visor (Visor Assembly C-11159 with the Moving Target Assembly C-11157 and the Visor Motor Bracket Assembly A-20100) covers his eyes, the two eye locks. Five visor targets (41-45, left to right) on its front face the playfield. One motor (14-8023, solenoid 28, driven through the Motor EMI w/Brake board A-15340) turns in one direction only and moves the visor through a cam (Motor Cam Assembly 04-10080) and the visor's lever arm and link, so each run of the motor carries the visor from one end to the other; two micro-switches on the motor bracket report the ends, Visor Closed (F5, public 115) and Visor Open (F7, public 117), which are the Fliptronic upper-flipper end-of-stroke inputs reused because Jack•Bot has no upper flippers. The ROM runs the motor until the wanted end switch closes: T.17 VISOR TEST stops 28 on 117 when opening and on 115 when closing and ignores the other switch. Rules: visor-target and 5-bank hits light the 5x5 chest matrix; completing it opens the visor and reveals the eye locks (47, 48), whose balls start multiball; Mega Visor raises it again after 15 Jack•Bots. Three flashers light it: right and left visor (15, 16, two lamps each) and center visor (17). The retained table models the visor as a one-solenoid reversing linear mech of 58 steps with 115 at the closed end and 117 at the open end; that is a synthetic model, and no source gives the physical travel time.

Lifting left ramp to the mini-playfield

mechanism.lifting-ramp

Diverter

The left ramp to the upper mini-playfield lifts. The Ramp Lifting Mechanism Assembly B-11304 carries a lift coil (AE-26-1200 on a B-9362-L-2 bracket, solenoid 6, RAISE RAMP), a smaller coil with an armature (SM1-26-600, solenoid 14, DROP RAMP) and a micro-switch (5647-12001-00, public 15, RAMP IS DOWN) that is made while the ramp is down. Down, the ramp is a shot: the ball rolls past the ramp entrance (37) to the mini-playfield and leaves past the ramp exit (36); raised, it opens the way to the Cashier target under it (38), the rules' shot 'under the ramp'. Pulsing 6 raises the ramp and pulsing 14 lets it drop again. T.16 RAMP TEST cycles RAMP UP (6) and RAMP DOWN (14) and reports RAMP DOWN SW. while 15 is closed. Lamps 75 (Game Saucer) and 76 (Mega Ramp) light the sign over the ramp entrance, and 71-74 the mini-playfield awards. The retained table models the ramp angle with a timer and writes 15 from it.

3-bank drop targets

mechanism.drop-targets

Kicker

Three drop targets on the left side (high 16, center 17, low 18) read by the optos of the 3-Bank Opto Drop Target Board A-13609, and one reset coil (solenoid 4, DROP TARGETS) that raises all three. Rules: with all three up a single target lamp (77, 78, 68) moves back and forth, and hitting that target first advances the bonus multiplier; once a target is down a timer runs on the other two, and completing the bank before it expires awards a card. The retained table models each target's drop and sets its switch once the target is down.

Outhole ball trough

mechanism.ball-trough

Kicker

Outhole Ball Trough Assembly A-19963 with four balls: drained balls roll onto the Trough 1-4 optos (32 at the right, 35 at the left) and the ball release coil (1) kicks the rightmost ball over the jam opto (31) into the shooter lane (68). The optos are IR pairs on the Trough IR LED Board A-18617-1 and Photo Transistor Board A-18618-1, read through the 7-Opto Switch Board A-15595; the board's ball 5 and 6 positions are not wired.

Game Saucer

mechanism.game-saucer

Kicker

The eject hole at the far upper left (switch 46, eject coil 3, which the ROM's T.4 names GAME SAUCER). Shooting the ramp lights it; the jet bumpers or the left flipper button move the flashing game lamp among Pinbot Poker, Slot Machine, Roll The Dice and Keno (lamps 81-84), and after all four Casino Run (66). Shooting it then plays the selected game.

Eye locks

mechanism.eye-locks

Kicker

Two eject holes behind the visor, Pinbot's eyes: the left eye lock (switch 47, eject coil 8) and the right eye lock (switch 48, eject coil 5). They are reachable only while the visor is open; balls locked there start multiball, and during multiball both eyes are Jack•Bot shots (hitting two holes at once awards a Super Jack•Bot). Either eye also spins the Casino Run slot machine.

Vortex skill shot

mechanism.vortex

Other

The plunger shoots the ball around the top into the Vortex, three holes (upper 56, center 57, lower 58). The upper and lower holes award the Vortex Millions value and the center hole three times it (operator multipliers 1X, 3X, 1X by default); the display shows each hole's value during the skill shot. With less than ten seconds of Casino Run left and the ball at the shooter, the center hole collects the Bank. No coil serves the Vortex; the holes return the ball to the playfield.

Lower left flipper

mechanism.lower-left-flipper

Other

Flipper assembly A-15849-L with an FL-11630 coil (power 47, hold 48, printed circuits 31-32) and an SW-1A-194 end-of-stroke switch (F3, 113) that PinMAME synthesizes. The cabinet button interrupts both optos of the left Flipper Opto Board A-17316 (F4, 114 and F8, 118); the left button also moves the flashing Game Saucer lamp.

Recreation notes

Working knowledge that has no schema field yet — edition differences, tuning values, pitfalls.

Coverage: partial - every I/O address, controller binding, polarity, wiring detail, mechanism and recreation note is source-reconciled; spatial_placement is missing because no retained source locates the general-illumination bulbs except one community table's own grouping, and variant_differences because no source describes the 0.4A sample machine

Identity and evidence precedence

This is the Williams Electronics Games physical machine of October 10, 1995, model 50051, IPDB 3619, 2,428 units, four players; the third robot game after Pin•Bot (1986) and The Machine: Bride of Pin•bot (1991). It covers the five jb_* drivers: jb_10r (game ROM 1.0R, the parent), jb_101r (1.01R, the "LED Ghost Fix"), jb_10b and jb_101b (the Belgian/Canadian releases of both) and jb_04a (the 0.4A sample/prototype ROM with its own speech ROM). All five share one jbGameData on wpc_m95DCSS, so the four production drivers are identical; shared game data proves only the routing, and no source describes the sample cabinet, so the prototype's physical compatibility stays unknown.

Board set. IPDB names the MPU WPC Security and says some production games were built with WPC-95 board sets; Service Bulletin 86 fixes the WPC-95 CPU board of Jack•Bot and Congo sample games built before 12-15-95. The retained manual is the May 1995 PRELIMINARY edition (16-50051-101) and documents the WPC Security five-board set: CPU A-17651-50051 (switch columns J207, rows J209, dedicated switches J205), Power Driver A-12697-3 (coils J130/J127/J126/J122, lamps J137/J134, G.I. J120/J121), Fliptronic II A-15472-1 (J902/J905/J906/J907), Dot Matrix Controller A-14039.1 and a separate DCS sound board. Pinned PinMAME runs every jb_* ROM as its hybrid generation GEN_WPC95DCS (0x40, "Hybrid WPC95 driver + DCS sound", like WHO dunnit), so the definition's pinmame.wpc-95 platform describes the emulated public API while its wiring fields cite the manual's WPC Security boards. A WPC-95 board-set game has other connector numbers, which no retained source documents.

Evidence precedence: the retained known-working table script (bord's Jack·Bot, VPU 7953, version 1.1.2a; the pinned script corpora carry the same bindings) is runtime and mechanism-causality ground truth; the May 1995 manual controls physical construction, part numbers, wiring and device presence; pinned PinMAME 97aa922b controls the controller generation and public addresses (its jb.c is a preliminary simulator whose switch and solenoid symbols are not this machine's wiring); the ROM's own service tests, run on a legal jb_10r ROM, settled polarity, names and every output's identity; the retained table supplies coordinates and the factory location drawings check them. Every table used is transcribed under evidence/excerpts/williams.jackbot.1995/, and the runs are summarized under evidence/runtime/wpc-95/jackbot-jb_10r-*.json.

Controller platform and address topology

  • Switches: dedicated 1-8 (coin chutes and the coin-door service buttons), matrix 11-68 (columns 7 and 8 are NOT USED), Fliptronic 111-118. DIP 1-8 are the country bits.
  • Fliptronic column: 111 and 113 are the lower end-of-stroke switches, which PinMAME synthesizes from the flipper coils (FLIP_SOL(FLIP_L)). 112/116 are the two optos of the right cabinet button and 114/118 of the left one; the ROM fires the lower flipper from either opto of a button. 115 (F5) and 117 (F7) are the upper-flipper end-of-stroke inputs reused as the visor closed and open switches; PinMAME does not synthesize them.
  • Solenoids: 1-28 as printed (2 NOT USED), the lower flippers at 45-48 (printed circuits 29-32), the unfitted upper-flipper circuits 33-36, the unused positions 37-40 and PinMAME's LPDC mirrors 41-44, PinMAME state channels 29-31 and constant 32, PinMAME's simulator ball-shooter channel 49 (used only while PinMAME's own simulator runs) and reserved 50.
  • Lamps 11-88 (87 Buy-In button, 88 Start button), five dimmable G.I. strings at public GI 0-4, one 128x32 DMD.

Switch polarity: what the ROM's service tests settled

The T.1 SWITCH EDGES sweep held every public address at 1 and back at 0. Every fitted switch is named at public 1, including the eight addresses PinMAME's mask inverts (the drop-target optos 16-18 and the trough optos 31-35), so those rest closed (normally_closed true) and everything else rests open. The manual shades 16-18 and 41-45 as optos and leaves the trough cells unshaded; the trough pages and the mask make 31-35 optos, while the visor targets 41-45 carry leaf-switch part numbers and read active at public 1 unmasked, so they rest open whatever their construction. T.17 VISOR TEST confirms the visor switches: it stops the motor on 117 when opening and on 115 when closing, each at public 1. T.16 RAMP TEST shows RAMP DOWN SW. while 15 is 1. Always Closed (24) is named on its 1 -> 0 edge. Drive every switch active-high; never invert the masked optos again.

The visor (headline mechanism)

Pinbot's visor covers his eyes, the two eye locks (left 47, right 48). Its five targets (41-45, left to right) face the playfield. One motor (14-8023, solenoid 28) turns in one direction through the Motor EMI w/Brake board A-15340 and moves the visor through a cam (04-10080) and its lever arm and link from one end to the other; the micro-switches Visor Closed (115) and Visor Open (117) on the motor bracket A-20100 report the ends. The ROM runs the motor until the wanted end switch closes and ignores the other one. Rules: hits on the visor targets and on the 5-bank standups (51-55) light the 25 chest lamps (five colour columns, rows 1 HIGH to 5 LOW, lamps 12-16, 22-26, 32-36, 42-46, 52-56, with the coloured arrows 11-51 above); completing the chest opens the visor and reveals the eye locks, whose balls start multiball; after 15 Jack•Bots Mega Visor raises it again. The right and left visor flashers (15, 16) carry two bulbs each; the center visor flasher is 17. The retained table models the visor as a 58-step reversing linear mech on solenoid 28 with 115 at the closed end and 117 at the open end; that model is synthetic, and no source gives the travel time.

The lifting ramp and the mini-playfield

The left ramp lifts. Ramp Lifting Mechanism B-11304: lift coil AE-26-1200 (solenoid 6, RAISE RAMP), a smaller coil SM1-26-600 (solenoid 14, DROP RAMP) and the micro-switch 15 (RAMP IS DOWN, made while the ramp is down). Down, the ramp is a shot past the ramp entrance (37) to the mini-playfield and out past the ramp exit (36); raised, it opens the way to the Cashier target under it (38). T.16 RAMP TEST cycles RAMP UP (6) and RAMP DOWN (14). Shooting the ramp lights the Game Saucer and starts the Vortex Millions count; the mini-playfield exit awards rotate among Cashier, Mega Ramp, Light Extra Ball and Jack•Bot (lamps 71-74); lamps 75 and 76 light the Game Saucer and Mega Ramp sign over the ramp entrance.

Other mechanisms

  • Game Saucer: the eject hole at the far upper left (46, coil 3, which the ROM names GAME SAUCER); the jet bumpers and the left flipper button move the flashing game among Pinbot Poker, Slot Machine, Roll The Dice and Keno (81-84), and after those Casino Run (66).
  • 3-bank drop targets 16-18 (optos on board A-13609) with one reset coil (4); a moving target lamp (77, 78,
    1. advances the bonus multiplier and completing the bank awards a card (61-65).
  • Vortex skill shot: three holes 56-58 at the top right; the center scores three times the Vortex value.
  • Trough: four balls on optos 32-35 (32 at the right), jam opto 31, ball release coil 1, shooter lane 68; the plunger is manual.
  • Jet bumpers: upper 61/13, left 62/12, lower 63/11; slingshots: left 65/9, right 64/10; the 10-point rubber switches 11, 12 and 66; the Hit Me target 67; the target under the ramp 38.
  • Knocker (7) in the backbox; Buy Extra Ball button 23 with lamp 87.

Lamps, flashers and general illumination

The ROM's T.8 names every lamp. The preliminary manual's lamp matrix and lamp list print 28 BONUS 3X, 38 BONUS 4X and 47 BONUS 5X; the ROM names them 4X, 5X and 3X, the retained table's lights sit on the 4X, 5X and 3X inserts of its playfield art (2X upper left, 3X upper right, 4X lower left, 5X lower right around Shoot Again), and the manual's own lamp drawing puts 28 at the lower-left and 47 at the upper-right insert; the definition follows them. The lamp list also swaps 71, 73 and 74 against the matrix and the ROM. The flashers are 15-27: visor 15-17, Pinbot face 18, jet bumpers 19, lower left 20, middle left 21, lower right 22 and five back-panel domes 23-27. G.I.: PLAYFIELD LOWER, LEFT, UPPER and RIGHT (#44) and INSERT (#555, the backbox insert panel, with a coin-door branch); all five dim in T.6.

Spatial status and why the record stays partial

Placements come from the retained table's script-bound objects, checked against the three factory location drawings (2-35, 2-37, 2-39) with independent callout reads; most switch, lamp and coil placements are validated, the rest stay observed with a note saying what the drawing showed. The rubber switches 11, 12 and 66, the ramp switch 15, the visor switches 115 and 117, the ramp coils 6 and 14, the visor motor 28 and the visor flashers 15-17 have no usable table object and are measured on the drawings. The four playfield G.I. strings rest on the table's own grouping, which no drawing or count can check, so spatial_placement stays missing. PinMAME's simulator channel 49 (the manual-shooter release pulse) is a virtual output with no placement.

Author construction checklist

  1. WPC-95 controller with a 128x32 DMD.
  2. Drive every switch active-high; never invert 16-18 or 31-35 again.
  3. Flipper buttons: drive 112/114 (and optionally 116/118 with them); the lower flippers are 45-48. There are no upper flippers.
  4. Visor: one motor output 28; close 115 at the closed end and 117 at the open end; eye locks 47/48 with coils 8/5 behind it; targets 41-45 on it.
  5. Ramp: 6 raises, 14 drops, 15 is made while the ramp is down.
  6. Drop targets 16-18 with reset 4; Game Saucer 46/3.
  7. Treat 41-44 as mirrors; 29-31 are PinMAME state channels; 33-40 are unfitted.

ROM sets

Every driver that resolves to this physical machine.

ROM set Description Year Parent Hardware
jb_101rJack*Bot (1.01R LED Ghost Fix)
Game ROM 1.01R, which pinned jb.c describes as the LED Ghost Fix revision of 1.0R; the same sound ROMs, jbGameData and wpc_m95DCSS machine driver, so the public controller contract is the parent's. A firmware revision on the same hardware.
1995jb_10ridentical
jb_101bJack*Bot (1.01B Belgian/Canadian LED Ghost Fix)
Game ROM 1.01B, the Belgian/Canadian LED Ghost Fix revision; the same sound ROMs, jbGameData and machine driver.
1995jb_10ridentical
jb_10rJack*Bot (1.0R)
Production game ROM 1.0R (jack1_0r.rom) with the DCS sound ROMs S2-S6, the parent driver. The retained known-working table binds it (Const cGameName="jb_10r"), and every service-test run behind this definition booted it.
1995—identical
jb_10bJack*Bot (1.0B Belgian/Canadian)
Game ROM 1.0B, the Belgian/Canadian release of 1.0; the same sound ROMs, jbGameData and machine driver. The manual's ROM summary lists a foreign game ROM (-1X) beside the domestic one (-1A); the difference is firmware, not hardware.
1995jb_10ridentical
jb_04aJack*Bot (0.4A Prototype)
Sample/prototype game ROM 0.4A with its own speech ROM jbsnd_04a.u2 (the other four sound ROMs equal production's), the ROM IPDB hosts as 'Sample/Prototype ROM 0.4A'. Pinned jb.c comments it 'WPC-S 5-Board' and gives it the parent's jbGameData and wpc_m95DCSS driver, so the public controller contract is the same. No retained source documents the sample cabinet beyond Service Bulletin 86, which concerns sample games' CPU boards without naming their game code. Shared game data proves the routing, not the cabinet, so its physical compatibility stays unknown until a source describes the sample machine.

Evidence

Every claim above traces to one of these. When they disagree: a known-working VPX script wins on controller addresses and causality, the manual wins on wiring and construction, pinned PinMAME wins on emulator routing and display layout.

Missing data

What this game definition still needs to reach 100% and become author-ready.

  • Edition and firmware differences

    Document supported hardware and firmware differences without combining incompatible editions.

  • Physical device locations

    Establish validated playfield locations for every physical sensor, actuator and light emitter, including bulb counts and justified projections.

Recorded completion blockers

Unresolved physical geometry

  • The G.I. placements of strings 1-4 rest on the retained table's own grouping; no factory drawing or bulb count locates G.I. bulbs, so they stay observed.
  • Placements the drawings do not confirm keep their observed status; each such device's note says what the drawing showed.

Promotion decision

partial: every fitted device has an observed or validated placement or a controlled not-applicable record, but no general-illumination placement can be validated from any retained drawing or count.
