Ball Release Sensor, which is mounted in front of this assembly, counts the balls as they are being
released. Aer counting the appropriate amount of balls, the solenoid disengages and is able to prevent
any more balls from being released due to the pressure applied by the springs. Example: e game is

will engage to allow the ball to pass until the sensor detects the 9 balls and will then immediately
disengage.
