    摘要: An arcade game includes a robot that can be controlled by a player to capture one or more items. The robot may include a stationary base, a lower member rotatably connected to the base to rotate about a first generally vertical axis, a torso member rotatably mounted to the lower member that rotates about a second axis that is generally horizontal; an arm member rotatably mounted to the torso member to rotate about a third axis that is generally parallel to the second axis. A hand portion may include hand-like pincers for grasping and releasing items and may include a sensor to sense contact with an item. A head portion may include a video screen that displays facial features. The head portion may include an image capturing device, such as a video camera.

    摘要: An arcade game includes a rotating and tilting prize receptacle for rotating captured prizes past an RFID antenna and dumping captured prizes back into the playing area. To improve the accuracy of reading RFID tags on the prizes, the receptacle spins to pass the captured prizes past the antenna multiple times. Each RFID tag may be assigned a serial number that is read by the RFID reader to assure that captured prizes are not counted multiple times. After the RFID tags have been read, the receptacle is tilted, preferably while still spinning, to dump the prizes back into the playing area. The captured-prize handling apparatus may include a lighted tower that surrounds the electro-mechanical elements and attracts attention to the game. The receptacle is shaped to urge the captured prizes into a position within the receptacle that enhances accurate reading of the RFID tags.

    摘要: A crane-style arcade game has an enclosed prize chamber wherein the prizes comprise RFID tags with assigned point values. an RFID reader reads the RFID tag on a captured prize as the captured prize is moved past the RFID reader. A recording device is connected to the RFID reader to record the assigned point values of the RFID tags of captured prizes read by the RFID reader. A rotary table mechanism is used to move a captured prize past the RFID reader and then to a storage area below the enclosed prize chamber.
