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.
If they didnt care about studying STEM before, they aint gonna care now. Don't set your entire college education and all those student debts based off a youtube video, kids.

They can teach you how things work but they can’t teach you how to be creative. It’s a huge bonus as an engineer and it’s also a big reason mark ended up on UA-cam. Also he gets a bunch of fan suggestions now that he’s big so he’s got that going for him

Being a former arcade tech this video was awesome. There are a lot more games out there that are rigged. Now a days the claw strength is adjusted on a little micro controller.
*thought as much...pretty sure the one at work is set to just below what the maximum weight the claw can lift at any given attempt especially for the more desirable prizes ...only rarely does anyone actually win anything worth while*
I am also a former arcade technician, and this is very true. The ones I had used a micro controller and a "smart claw" mech in which for every dollar put in it would tighten the claws strength. The managers would usually set it to about a 25% payout so every 4$ or so it would win (the toys cost like 10$ a box of 100)

Now that we know how it works, it’s more about the speed in which the mechanism retracts rather than how hard you punch the bag. I’d be interested in testing the physics of the optimum punch. Does punching the bag high, low, or in the sweet spot result in the fastest movement?

As a child I heavily and unknowingly got a public library an enormous remodel. I would find my books and check out, my little sister would be in story time. I would sit by the door and watch the numbers on the counter go up as I swished my hand back and forth past what is apparently called the beam break detector, running the number up by sometimes hundreds in an afternoon. We moved before the expansion so imagine my surprise when we went back years later and the library had expanded, they had added a park out back and my mom and one of the main workers who was still there informed me of the roll my bored playing around had had in it
Shout out to the muscle guy Andrew Herbert, a world record breaking powerlifter. I have no clue how Mark found him, but he sure found one of the strongest human on the planet.
Though there is another easier way. Just tape the card to the mechanism making the gap smaller. The smaller gap will let the laser through less time and detect a faster punch

Or if you wanna win everything in the arcade shop, take a copy of what the tickets look like then print it many times, and make it similar to size ratio.
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.
@@sethroberts2485 while true, I like OPs way of putting it. Puts the blame on the arcades and casinos for employing malicious techniques to keep you spending (and losing) money instead of putting blame on the addicts for falling into those very purposefully laid traps. Then again, I guess you aren't putting blame on anyone here, you're just pointing out something which may actually be entirely true.
If I worked at an arcade and saw someone doing any one of these, I wouldn’t care if they were cheating, I’d buy them a drink and ask for a picture with them.

im the only person who still loves mark robers viedoes and hos creativity bit still vibing with the pvz music in the backroudn its so chilling and gives me nostalgia a bit
I took your advice and built all of these things. It took me a while. About 160 hours of design and build with about $8000 out of pocket. But I successfully got a bunch of tickets which I traded for a $3 stuffed animal, so who’s laughing now?? Haha, I totally swindled them!
"Or you could just go with my route": - Earn a bachelor's degree in engineering - Earn a master's degree in engineering - Work at NASA for nearly a decade - Spend another decade tinkering and building gadgets - Build an entire UA-cam channel and lab dedicated towards unique engineering problems and solutions - Create a custom gadget costing hundreds of dollars to win $30 worth of stuff an at arcade But I for one am glad that he chose this!
I understand what you mean. Having physical tickets can feel more tangible and like a souvenir of the experience. But the convenience and security of having them loaded onto a card are definitely appealing as well. It's a trade-off between the two.
I would probably start to feel suspicious and curious about the guy, wondering why he keeps changing his backpacks and visiting the arcade multiple times in a day.

I worked at an arcade that had a customer who was the best skee-ball player I have ever seen. He had a technique of banking balls off a rail into the highest score hole every time and would clean out the ticket hopper multiple times during his visit.
I worked at an arcade for about a year at 40 hours a week, and I personally never had to restock prizes in most of the games there. Thats how rare winning actually was.

As a chemical engineer, I really appreciate how you give others a chance to actually see the world as an engineer. We need to propagate this insane creation of mankind, physics.
@@kevykevTPA Depends on what you refer to as physics tho. If you'd call Physics the study of the laws that govern the world, then we did invent it. If you're referring to said laws, then we did not.
@@kevykevTPA "Physics" is just a human construct. It's a deterministic description of the universe that only works on our constructed mathematical system. Other intelligent beings theoretically can come up with their own deterministic description of the universe which is completely different from our "Physics". And they probably did or will, since our "Physics" breakdown at "extreme" conditions (that is, extreme in human scales, but not necessarily extreme for other intelligent beings).
You can’t even imagine how thankful I am because I didn’t know what job would I choose in the future and then when I heard for mechanical engineering and studies for six years. I understood what will be my job
It’s amazing how one person can spread messages that can impact so many in the best ways possible as consistently as Mark does. Now millions of people know to not use certain arcade machines and go to a casino with their kids if they wanna win!
I guarantee you, as someone who works in an arcade, if anyone I work with caught you doing this, we'd all think you were really cool and warn you what our manager looks like

Mr. Rober, I appreciate and love these videos. I love the fact you discuss often your way of thinking during your videos. I teach a Technology Education and robotics classes and use a lot of your videos as introductions. They are always very enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to do these.
Asking employees which machines pay out is actually a pretty solid tip, considering they are able and willing to give advice. Some casinos actually encourage their employees to keep track of which machines are hitting so they can promote those machines to eager customers. From a vendor perspective, you want the machines to pay out eventually, because it gets people interested in playing. Giving advice helps ensure that the people who are winning are your most engaged customers, and it basically doubles as a soft loyalty rewards system.
All these projects in just a single video, I can't say anything else, I can see a lot of work, so respect for the work! Must have spent a lot of time, thinking about the projects, then figuring out how to solve them and after that filming them professionally. Great video!

Working as a tech in a major arcade really changes how I played and what games I played. Especially knowing what games were close to a pay out. Some games like Barber Cut and Stacker can have even have modified payouts so that no one ever wins.

Hey kids do you know what's more fun than skee ball? Craps!
Yeah I also took my kids to the casino but I had tough luck so I ended leaving without them

You can still play the rhythm games.
As a child I heavily and unknowingly got a public library an enormous remodel. I would find my books and check out, my little sister would be in story time. I would sit by the door and watch the numbers on the counter go up as I swished my hand back and forth past what is apparently called the beam break detector, running the number up by sometimes hundreds in an afternoon. We moved before the expansion so imagine my surprise when we went back years later and the library had expanded, they had added a park out back and my mom and one of the main workers who was still there informed me of the roll my bored playing around had had in it
You made it look popular causing growth
That's a great 💡 !! Lol well done 👏

Shout out to the muscle guy Andrew Herbert, a world record breaking powerlifter. I have no clue how Mark found him, but he sure found one of the strongest human on the planet.
I've recently been on a binge of Mark's videos thanks to his Glitterbomb 5.0. And have come to the conclusion he just KNOWS people.
What?! Omg thanks for telling me!
That’s wild! Seems like a chill dude too
What's really weird is that if you wikipedia "andrew herbert" it goes to a bio of a computer scientist.
@@tylerheister8641 It's always the strong guys that are actually chill!

I'd bet he has a pez habit.
@@HabibuHalama It was kinda funny
Though there is another easier way. Just tape the card to the mechanism making the gap smaller. The smaller gap will let the laser through less time and detect a faster punch
If you ever see Mark walkin into an arcade with 12 backpacks, you already know he’s about to own the entire gift shop.
Yeah the whole $10 worth of gifts

The bionic arm has so much technology, then a little frayed piece of twine as a trigger lol…love it
Yo famm, I’m a small content creator, and I make a variety of entertaining reactions, vlogs, and a range of other content and I’m still working on quality but I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy! 🙏🏾❤
The trigger has to be comfortable on the finger, yet unyielding enough to always trigger at the exact moment. Twine satisfies both criteria.
Or if you wanna win everything in the arcade shop, take a copy of what the tickets look like then print it many times, and make it similar to size ratio.
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.
Or… the word arcade has arc in it.
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.
@Tardigrade? in VR nobody cares
that's a fun fact
Wrong.
I’ve said my whole life “arcades are casinos for kids but with zero regulation”
you arent wrong
I worded it differently, and said "kids that spend too much time in arcades grow up to be casino addicts"
@@sethroberts2485 while true, I like OPs way of putting it. Puts the blame on the arcades and casinos for employing malicious techniques to keep you spending (and losing) money instead of putting blame on the addicts for falling into those very purposefully laid traps.
Then again, I guess you aren't putting blame on anyone here, you're just pointing out something which may actually be entirely true.
In Alaska they are regulated and treated exactly like casinos. And D&B is a great example of if.
All the games are just for tokens.
Or casinos are arcades for adults but with regulation
If I worked at an arcade and saw someone doing any one of these, I wouldn’t care if they were cheating, I’d buy them a drink and ask for a picture with them.
I would do the same thing, but then I would show the workers the picture of the guy so they can catch him. Lol.

I took your advice and built all of these things. It took me a while. About 160 hours of design and build with about $8000 out of pocket. But I successfully got a bunch of tickets which I traded for a $3 stuffed animal, so who’s laughing now?? Haha, I totally swindled them!
Amazing lmao

"Or you could just go with my route":
- Earn a bachelor's degree in engineering

- Work at NASA for nearly a decade
- Spend another decade tinkering and building gadgets
- Build an entire UA-cam channel and lab dedicated towards unique engineering problems and solutions
- Create a custom gadget costing hundreds of dollars to win $30 worth of stuff an at arcade
But I for one am glad that he chose this!
I understand what you mean. Having physical tickets can feel more tangible and like a souvenir of the experience. But the convenience and security of having them loaded onto a card are definitely appealing as well. It's a trade-off between the two.
I would probably start to feel suspicious and curious about the guy, wondering why he keeps changing his backpacks and visiting the arcade multiple times in a day.
Wrong comment bud.@@JulianaJunior-qe2gw
rent out the arcade. there's no customers
The last device is the most clever: no over engineering, cheap and easy to do.
But if it's that exposed you can use your finger which is faster than the card
@@HKl1502 Yeah but that would be less consistent and you would need to swipe your finger across it twice.
@@MrScorpianwarrior or you could use two fingers slightly spread apart

Is it really theft if you can’t win? Even if he wins, the arcade still profits.
And this is why the future is scary.
???: “Scared of the future? I once attempted to force all of humanity to evolve but I fell short. I assure you that the future will still be ruled by normal humans.”
And now we have the REAL reason Mark became an engineer. He was tired of losing out at the arcade!
Mark is one of the coolest guys ever lol “you can practice…or you can go to school for 6 years and get a degree in Mechanical Engineering and do it this way” 😂
That just fucked my day because Im in 3rd year And still don’t have a clue how he does that 💀

He literally cannot, they have 10 less sociable Mark Rober's and 10,000 cameras preventing it, there's a reason the best bet in the casino you win is 49 percent of the time, if you're lucky.
What you expect him to do? Card counting at blackjack or doubling bets at roulette? Either way you’d be asked to play different games even considering that doesn’t count as cheating
I learned a lot from your videos Marcus
Mark is one of the only UA-camrs who is respected by the children’s parents.

@@kevykevTPA Depends on what you refer to as physics tho. If you'd call Physics the study of the laws that govern the world, then we did invent it. If you're referring to said laws, then we did not.
@@kevykevTPA "Physics" is just a human construct. It's a deterministic description of the universe that only works on our constructed mathematical system. Other intelligent beings theoretically can come up with their own deterministic description of the universe which is completely different from our "Physics". And they probably did or will, since our "Physics" breakdown at "extreme" conditions (that is, extreme in human scales, but not necessarily extreme for other intelligent beings).

Mr. Rober, I appreciate and love these videos. I love the fact you discuss often your way of thinking during your videos. I teach a Technology Education and robotics classes and use a lot of your videos as introductions. They are always very enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to do these.
Asking employees which machines pay out is actually a pretty solid tip, considering they are able and willing to give advice. Some casinos actually encourage their employees to keep track of which machines are hitting so they can promote those machines to eager customers.
From a vendor perspective, you want the machines to pay out eventually, because it gets people interested in playing. Giving advice helps ensure that the people who are winning are your most engaged customers, and it basically doubles as a soft loyalty rewards system.
And the first thing most people do when they win money at a casino is to lose it back to the casino.
The problem with that punching arm is that when it releases, it produces recoil.
So all the momentum you gained before punching it is cancelled.
All these projects in just a single video, I can't say anything else, I can see a lot of work, so respect for the work! Must have spent a lot of time, thinking about the projects, then figuring out how to solve them and after that filming them professionally. Great video!
Mark just seems so genuine now, and you can tell he loves doing UA-cam. Something a lot of people don't have.
