Beating 5 Scam Arcade Games with Science
I built 5 robots to beat the 5 most popular arcade games. If you want to unlock the magic of engineering in your life, go to http://Studio.com/Markrober (for teenagers and older) OR http://Crunchlabs.com/MarkRober (for teenagers and younger).

I’m trusting you guys with to use the PEZ trick responsibly!! And I know it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted, but my videos take a lot of work and I’ve got 3 more BANGER vids to drop before the end of the year!
don’t say this and or i’ll start counting down the days until that squirrel maze 3.0 is out you teased in the hot wings interview and i cant wait
Oh you bet I’ll use it responsibly 😏

The fact that your chances of wining at a casino are better than at an arcade is really messed up
PEZ=FREE MONEY
There’s something about having a huge wad of “physical” tickets that makes it more rewarding/satisfying than having them just loaded onto a card. At least with the card it’s more discreet though.
My most recent video says it all 😤😤😤
Makes me think of when I got the jackpot at Chuck E. Cheese
As a kid I got robbed of my tickets more than a couple times
@AsianPersuasion most places make you have to wait anyways

@Haggis 025 Kids can use their tickets to play more games, and yes, in a casino you can leave with your winnings. I have done it. And millions of other people have.
Well in arcades you cant spend your winnings on more games. In casinos even if you win the money it won’t leave.
and that arcades are aimed at kids who usually are using their parents money, and who dont have as much (or any) impulse control…
depends on what your doing at a casino cuz slot machines are worse than these
@ٴ can confirm, i prey on kids all the time.
Fun fact: The roots of the word arcade go back to the Latin word “arcus,” which means arc or bow. So arcades came to be known as “arcades” because of the way the entrances to the buildings were built with arches as doors.

IIRC the “arcades” used to be the malls, so “arcade games” were just mall games… But yeah, they were called that because of the entrances.
Or… the word arcade has arc in it.
For the basketball: you could’ve just added a light source to the side of the ball, which would trip the sensor instead of moving the bottom part up and down.
You probably need a strong one to trigger the laser sensor
I thought of covering the ball with retro reflective tape
Mark Rober: Okay today were taking down a crime syndicate in a foreign country using spies and counter espionage
Also Mark Rober: Okay so today were going to get lots of points in ski ball
I used to manage an arcade/bowling alley… I can guarantee you that these tactics would work on workers, as long as you’re not horsing around and making a scene, we will absolutely leave you alone at the games with no questions asked. Hack the games away haha
I love that Mark has a “home arcade!” His child like curiosity coupled with his brilliance make for some of the best videos on the web.
Btw, how’s Phat Gus doing? 😊
Imagine being an Arcade worker and seeing the same guy on the security feed 9 different times in 1 day with slightly different backpacks everytime.
As a professional arcade player that enjoys science this was a lot of fun to watch!
