Bug Right Ramp scores Spiral shots

Platform: iOS

Table: Twilight Zone

Device: iPad 3

OS: iOS 6

Bug description: If the Spiral door panel is running, shots to the Right Ramp give spiral awards.

Steps to reproduce: Get the Spiral award from the Slot Machine, Piano or defeating the Power. Then shoot the right ramp. You'll get a points award and DMD display for the spiral bonus. (It might also award Spiral Breakthroughs, not sure.)

Additional Comments: It may be that a ball on or near the right ramp diverter is incorrectly triggering the sensor near the entrance to the left orbit, which would explain why the ROM is seeing a Spiral shot.

On further investigation, it seems that the ramp helper diverter throws the ball too far back when it drops it into the left orbit. It rolls up towards the magnet and triggers the opto switch. Not sure if this happens on any real TZ but it's plausible.

And it does not score spiral breakthrus so the scoring abuse potential is limited.

It can and does happen on a real TZ. Not every time, but it does happen.

I've seen that happen on a real TZ. Not a bug.
