TODO: Add a picture of a kicking target

Mission Pinball Framework’s (MPF) kicking target device represents a switch in a pinball machine. This device is used for kicking targets with a coil for kicking. Used rarely, these targets look like stationary targets, but when hit they kick the back in the opposite direction much like a slingshot or bumper.

switches:
  s_kicking_target:
    number: 1
coils:
  c_kicking_target:
    number: 1
    default_pulse_ms: 10ms
kickbacks:
  kicking_target:
    coil: c_kicking_target
    switch: s_kicking_target

This example is tested to be valid MPF config. However, it is not integration tested.
