Beating 5 Scam Arcade Games with Science
čas přidán 16. 09. 2022
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 Studio.com/Markrober (for teenagers and older) OR Crunchlabs.com/MarkRober (for teenagers and younger).
I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com
You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs CS-tv channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- / crunchlabs
And if you want that backpack (minus the contraptions to win all the games), you can find it here- markrober.store/collections/b...

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!
People who love Mark Rober 👇 👇 👇
E
Im a big fan!
Hello. I am excited to see what the next videos are gonna be!
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.
Minimum wage buys zero give-a-shits.
I make entertaining videos as well🙏
@blindleader42 True, but sometimes you don't need more than zero.
@blindleader42 it depends some of them care like its their own business
@Yung Zyon yeah but no cool science builds and learning things in the process
Imagine being an employee at an arcade and seeing Mark walk in, knowing what is to come.
The worker doesn't care 2 shits. It's not like Mark is taking their money from their salary. The one that loses is the boss
@janbiel12 yeah, the boss still has to pay the salary
@janbiel12 the boss still doesn't lose
Yea cuz losing a large stuffed animal would be super bad for business
Imagine you're a person posting imagine comments.
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.
@Tyler Heister It's always the strong guys that are actually chill!
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
big cappin
@Carpe Lunam im pretty sure thats the joke
@Carpe Lunam its a JOKE bro
😂😂😂
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
Ahahahah true, hit up a D&B’s tho, and that may be a different story @Ryan Robinson
Haha 😂😂
Yup- 🤣
@Luigi Battaglioli dave and busters is the exception
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
I’d have thought you’d get kicked out
Employee: Hey Tony show this guy how business is made round ere Manager Tony:💪👶👊
@Justaboireally uncle Joe on his way to touch him 🦶🏼😩🦶🏼
@WILDBrooke13 i mean technically theres no rule against it
he cheated back 🙂
Imagine walking into the arcade seeing 9 jackpots go off while a guy leaves with 9 different backpacks smiling
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! 🙏🏾❤
Imagine all the arcades closing.
@ItzMalick Shush
frr
He really just went and made the power fist from Fallout to beat someones score on the punching bag.
And didn’t even manage to do it
@KäsekuchenLP He had Unarmed level 9
My problem is I come up with solutions to problems that don’t exist.
@notfiveo you should work in the industry. They do that all the time!
@KäsekuchenLP yeah, but a pez dispenser did
I miss when arcades and amusement halls were largely dominated by games of skill, where challenge was both an incentive to keep playing and a protection on return.
As a mom of 3 boys, I thank you for your "cool" example of science.
I sure would need a ”dad finder”! Seems like a cool unit!
That’s tough
That's sad XD
i know how that feels 👁👄👁
You will need one if your dad goes to get the milk XD
DARK!
I love how the guy does not care that he’s playing against a backpack 😂 10:04
He probably expected some wacky stunt. Its Mark Rober after all.
My favorite part is that his pez dispenser contraption is so much more simple than his original one.
Yup. No "sunk cost fallacy" hindering the process, and a closer look at the assumptions for a better opportunity. Impressive improvement.
engineering at the best
Bruh
And as he mentioned, the weight of the device has to be considered. Furthermore, I would presume he underestimated the effect of recoil taking a cut too.
Even that is way to complicated
The local arcade I work at (won't specify which one) actually has told me that most the rigged games are a automatic %30 chance to win if the owner chooses not to change it
I worked at Main Event for a while and it’s set to 20% there
@decal could they be set to 100% or close?
Where I work doesn't do 100% but I know they can it just makes them lose money
Which arcade?
@LegoWormNoah101 they can set it to whatever they want but legally there’s limit of what percentage. Also if people never win they’d learn quickly if they come regularly, same teddies for long periods, therefore won’t spend money on them
The idea of walking into an arcade with multiple backpacks is hilarious to me.
Plot twist: it’s one back with everything inside
Shiningarmor hiiii
Just come in with a bunch of people and say you are holding it for them.
It's great that you teach people to catch their own fish. You're not a failure @MarkRober
15:50 Mark is probably the only guy who keeps his diamond play button alongside tools and equipments
What an awesome video idea. Keep the content coming, Mark! This is lit for real. It's crazy how the human mind can think like this.
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.
all fun and games until you have to wait 5 minutes for all 1000 tickets to come out.
@AsianPersuasion thats the best part though
@AsianPersuasion I thinking each ticket it worth about $0.01.
Finally it’s here
Where I live, we have physical tickets
"But you'll notice, there is no rule against spring loaded piston punching gloves" -mark, 2022
Mark always comes up with the most interesting inventions
The employees never found it weird that you had multiple backpacks in an arcade?
Mark: "worked as expected!" _proceeds to recover the modified ball_ Arcade guy: Hey, you are not supposed to take the ball with you! Mark: yeah... but... ahhh Arcade guy: Heh, it never fails! thats at least 30$ on hardware :D
Person: Cheaters never prosper. Mark: Hold my beer
Imagine people coming into the arcade and wondering how they could ever beat the record on the machines...
*POAH JUST GIVE ME RECENT HATE ALREADY!!* *MY GOAL IS BECOME THE MOST HATED CS-tvR ON EARTH!* 👃🏾👎🏽
E
He probably told them what he did and they reset the records.
@ ok i just reported you lol
@ Mark Rober needs to make a video why bots exists on CS-tv
Your an employee at a arcade store and you remember that Mark's Making a video there , you know that 3000+ kids are gonna be following him and the arcade breaks down.
Do u real liked a kid a merch of preston
Has to be hilarious for the greeter at the door seeing you go back and forth to your car to swap out the same backpack.
tf is a greeter
@squidman Seeing as arcades typically have a lot of children, they usually have someone at the entrance to make sure no kids wander off without their parents. They're called a greeter because they also greet people coming in
I guess those claw machines really do have a grip on our wallets 🤑
The punching gadget didn't work as expected because the base of the punching is very small so the ball you are punching is actually dispersing the kinetic energy being pushed into it, if it had a larger surface it would definitely work!
I’m going to need a bunch of “friends” just to bring each backpack 💀
What if when Mark was young, he lost so much money in arcade games he decided enough is enough, and he studied Engineering for revenge😂😂
imagine you pick up the backpack and its still firing the balls and then you panic and then the workers see it and then your kicked out
I wonder what Mark does for 'fun' and relaxation.
These are THE BEST. So fun to see science applied in the place most of us spent time happily losing our money as kids. REVENGE.. XD XD XD
This is fantastic.
First comment lmao
@Cannotdophantom no
No I’m the first commenter on this comment
Eleganto
This is you advertising your channel.
I swear, Mark takes cheating in arcades to the next level
I can't believe you built all those things. The time that's needed. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Well played, Mark!
"Sir why do you need 3 backpacks in an arcade" Mark: Arcade:
To carry home my won toys?
For games like key master usually they set the payout to be about 50x to 100x what the items worth, but I don't think it can be any higher as there are laws around it
I must say, the air hockey backpack is genius. The other guy would never notice a backpack playing for you while you are doing something else.
Yea it’s flawless
Except it has no aiming mechanism or power adjustment. Even if you could, it'd take a few balls minimum to calibrate it
@Mark C what would it need power or aiming for? it's only defense
@Mark C its defense
Mark out here making a side hustle of tutoring but in a way that is much cooler than just learning how to pass tests
I love the fact that all of the arcades he features are places I've taken my kids. We've taken that Quik Drop jackpot at Hyper Space more than once! 😀
Oh cool a verified person hiiii
It’s all fun and games until you run out of time to get the ball back and it’s trapped there forever 😂
Such a cool find! The class and the labs sound addicting.
Mark: makes a weapon, Government: “What’s that for” Mark: “beating my friend in the arcade”
My mind goes straight to Exo suits, like those straight out of Advanced Warfare or something.
Homie, What?
Government: “And did you beat him?” Mark: “No”
@SHale 😂😂😂
dude it's the power fist from fallout lol
still pretty epic that you managed to make a robot in a few days that punches almost as hard as this guy's muscles which he's been building for years
I guess you could say he’s been building his knowledge for years though
Love ya work, Mark. Looking forward to getting my kid and engineer friend some build boxes for this Christmas ❤
I used to own a couple of arcades and the percentage payout is down to the location. In the local inland arcades you could run 80%-86% payout as you want the customers to return, at the coast they will be set at a minimum, 70% is normal, and the local fair that comes to town once a year could have dodgy programs and run ridiculously low. This includes the popular crane grabs....
As someone who worked for 5 years at an unnamed major corporate arcade for children (🐭), I remember our district tech giving our district a range in which the redemption games had to be “rigged” based on the store budget. It was crazy.
I wish we could clone you Mark. What a better world it would be to have a couple Mark's in every school. A lot more mischief too!
Mark can singlehandedly bankrupt the arcade sector if he wants to. He's just choosing not to.
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! 🙏🏾❤
tbh not really. Even getting jackpots don't do anything, as almost always the prizes are really cheap to buy. not to mention the arcade owners would catch on pretty quickly
@ItzMalick You already got a big audience though
Mans a ex nasa engineer
He'll bankrupt himself first.
40 minutes in and I already think it’s going to be so fun. Your videos are always so freaking fun
But it's 20 min?
I think they also use these beam brake detectors on the supermarket conveyor belt. It tells when there is your groceries at the end and detects when to stop.
This dude is one bad day away from becoming a mad scientist
This guy could potentially make the most watched video of all time someday.
youre videos are really fun to watch
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"
@Seth Roberts 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
Would love to see you do the fruit machines too 😂😂
Great video Mark ! , always a joy to watch you 😮
Its only a matter of time until he figures out how to move a house with a $1 budget
from the slowmo of the punch, i think you'll get more results by having larger surface area, less deformation in the ball and more momentum transfer
To be honest, I really want to be an engineer like him. Im just too young for now.
Such a banger video Mark!
oh my
Again
uh oh
Agreed!
Yea #1 on trending too
This is why i wanna be an engineer
You are awesome Mark! I am 40 but still get fascinated with all the stuff you do!
For me, whenever i go in an arcade, i usually play the experience games, especially racing games
Time for mark to open a fair arcade and magically turn a profit. Would love to see CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!
For the PEZ trick, could you make it even better by making an extremely small cutout, thereby further reducing the amount of time the sensor is unbroken?
Imagine trying this 30 years ago when cards didn't exist. You'd need a second backpack just to hold all the paper tickets!
*POAH JUST GIVE ME RECENT HATE ALREADY!!* *MY GOAL IS BECOME THE MOST HATED CS-tvR ON EARTH!* 🎥🤬
More like 6 years ago
@Grady Stanley Definitely more than that. They may have been around but they even 10 years ago they were still mainly cards.
@AlexWithAStar No, depends where you live. 10 years ago I'd never heard of an arcade with cards (and I still went to them then, being 9)
No Raspberry Pi 30 years ago. You'd have to use an Amiga 500.
The actual genius move was playing the plants vs zombies theme to keep us watching
Hey Mark! Big fan here. I was wondering if you ever had conduct a resonance experiment, but the sand is in a cube and sound is on all sides of the cube. Would the geometrical patterns be 3D or nah?
I need to make friends with this dude and travel the country winning prizes
It's cool how he speaks science casually while everyone else has no idea what he's doing
I went to an arcade the day this came out! It was so useful! Thank you so much!
Amazing! Mark Rober is one of the best youtuber that I look up to. 🙌
Факты
Ooh wow a check mark
Omg a checkmark comment stealer let's all like this comment! This is a joke for the people who didn't get it
@The dank doge this is not a comment stealer this guy seems to be another scientist CS-tvr
Although Stackers is random in its payout, I win at least 30% of the time and the prizes are sometimes worth $15 or more, so $3 for a $15 item isn't bad.
Do u realised a kid a merch of preston
A $15 "item" that costs 50c when bought in bulk from China.
@Me Smile You high bro ?
Mark your channel is awesome. My kid watches it every day. You are his hero.
With al, the knowledge from your videos, I’m either going to follow my passion to be a scientist, or become a mechanical engineer.
The dad finder is so useful I finally can find my dad after 15 years!
You make engineering fun bro. Always hated the maths...but end results it worth all of it
Bro this is epic content
Hello
Yes
wadwadwad
❇️
True
He spends so much time making great videos 😊
I am impressed with ur dedication to the craft hat tip to u sir. You took cheating to a whole different level
Thankyou to the arcade for allowing Mark to do these tests
this makes me wonder about professional sports. with billions in revenue on the line, how could they NOT be using science like this?
I learned to take my kids to the casino instead of the arcade thanks Mark 👍
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
bruh
Mark Robber
You can still play the rhythm games.
Mark Rober is a national treasure
Love your content mark keep doing what your doing
What was the timing input for the ball drop robot? How did it know where the buckets are?
Awesome stuff, Mark!
For the boxing one you should try air compression for extra speed and if you used a smaller one it would be lighter so you wouldn’t lose much momentum
The fact that you took the time to build all these to go in a backpack or just look non suspicious is amazing this is epic.
the fact that nobody thought the bags were bombs is amazing
@cosmiceyness he obviously got permission from the arcade owner to try his invention and record inside the building.
wadadww
Well he’s making money of it
This video would’ve been nice back when arcades were still a thing.
Thank you for not being a super villain, Mark!
Nice video! Can you do one similar but with atm machines? very thanks
Fun fact: The kidney shot was created for people who swipe their card on 2 basket arcade games even though they are only playing 1.
In some arcade machines I found around the world, some sounds alarms if you’re only getting high scores for example, as it raises suspicion.
Its always baffled me how its not illegal for arcade games to be deceptive about skill based looking games
ya! isn't that the definition of fraud?
It's not the job of the government to regulate something like that. People can regulate it themselves by not playing them.
@JordanLofgren it is the governments job though
@Floridaball yeah absolutely, dude is delusional lmao.
@JordanLofgren It's literally the government's job.
