A bit about the strat employed: I used a buffed up solar value, as Link_7777 did on his run. Except the SV on my end was buffed to 5M, the maximum value. From there, it was only a matter of waking PinBot up, getting the multiball, shooting in his eye to trigger "Aim solar value", and shooting the ramp to get double the solar value (10M) in points.

Solar value is a bonus that remains on the machine across games until it is won by shooting at the ramp during multiball, when Pinbot has one of the balls in his eyesockets. This also changes the stage. To buff it up, shoot at the ramp during games. As its value doesn't reset across games, all one has to do is play multiple games to buff it up. As Link_7777 used a solar value boost of 2.15M on his run (which got accepted), and since SV can only have this high of a value because of previous games, I believe my run should be accepted on the same grounds.
