Here's the first version of my Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move aiming mechanism that's synced with what's happening in the game. It's made from cardboard, bamboo skewers, rubber bands, a deodorant roller ball, 2 nails, and some 3D printed pulleys.

The game's running in MAME and a Lua script is watching the memory locations for the aimer and the current and next bubble colours. The script sends data to an Arduino UNO which updates the LEDs and a servo motor in close to real time.
