- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature)A [[gameplay-feature:flippers]] variant found on [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] machines in which the flipper is controlled exclusively by the game's relay logic — the player cannot activate it. The game fires the flipper automatically based on internal timing or switch triggers, adding an element of unpredictability that the player must work around rather than control. Automatic flippers appeared as supplementary mechanisms alongside player-controlled flippers, often positioned in the upper playfield where they would bat the ball in directions the player could not directly influence. The feature blurred the line between player skill and machine behavior.
