A single Hardware patent describes a physical arcade cabinet that automates the traditional ball-skill game experience. The system combines a rotating circular plate studded with different-sized scoring holes, tracked by an encoder that monitors their positions, with a rack-and-pinion mechanism that automatically feeds balls to the player. This automation removes the need for manual game resets between rounds, allowing continuous play. The scoring holes themselves vary in size and designation, with some marked as basic targets and others as bonus opportunities, creating a tiered reward structure within the physical game mechanics.
