I think 5030 is well ahead of all of us if this post (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...#post1 416659) from the game hint thread turns out to be right ...

I'm not saying that a hockey game won't happen, but nearly all of the reasoning for one so far doesn't hold up. The only bit that I am taking seriously is the omission of the 1999 game which had a reference to "pucks". The first suggestion of a hockey game was in reference to sticks being in the "long" box, but I can't imagine fitting sticks in a 3" wide box.

Either way, 5030's mechanism is really cool and I would love to see different variants. I want to know how spin could effect the trajectory.
