Homebrew Showcase: Shaolin Flow Pinball at Pinball Expo 2026

Video

Summary

Homebrew Shaolin Flow at Pinball Expo 2026 uses lidar hand-sensing to fire flippers, built by Seattle IT pro Bradley Bonner.

Marco Pinball video from the Pinball Expo 2026 Homebrew Village showcases Shaolin Flow, a homebrew game built by Bradley Bonner, an IT professional from the Seattle area. The game adds a lidar and microcontroller-based hand-sensing interface that lets players fire flippers by moving their hands over the glass, and the hosts demo it with a guest player. Bonner says he bought the Marco Homebrew Loot Crate about two and a half years ago and that he has already bought another cabinet for a future homebrew title.
