Abstract
A claw machine game Its a type of arcade game which consists of many parts, the basic ones are a printed circuit board, LCD for displaying the time , directions buttons or/and a joystick, power supply, crane and prizes, usually toys, dolls, candy and others which are put in a closed box or case . The player allowed to manipulate a joystick or/and direction buttons that controls the claws movement -for a amount of time moreover- in the four directions to grip the wanted prize and put it in a specific place where player could get it .
In our system the user will control the movement of the claw by manipulating the joy stick for (1 minute) for each trial. He/she can move the claw forth, back, and sideway, and by pressing the grab button the crane descends and does an attempt to grip. After making the gripping attempt, it then moves over an opening in the corner of the box and releases its contents. Moreover, the player can control the claw and play the game via Bluetooth in his own mobile phone.
Our gripper which carries the dolls, can move in the(x, y and z )axis's. Also, we used a controller -Arduino Mega- which will control the stepper motors, and the gripper.
