Frustrated by those dumb Claw Vending Machine (UFO Catcher) things you see at video game arcades? Here are a couple clips from Japanese TV in which experts explain how to win prizes!
Techniques shown in video clip #1:
- Targeting an object close to the pit and using one side of the claw to push the object sideways instead of picking it up.
- Other objects close to the pit can be pushed into each other to create a slide effect.
- Stuffed animals that are too large to simply slide into the pit should be gripped by the claw at a specific point, which is often the neck.
- Prizes that are inside boxes usually have an area on the box that is easily gripped by the claws. The figure shown in the video can only be properly picked up when it’s container is facing upright and the indentations on its side are targeted.
Technique shown in video clip #2:
- Certain types of UFO Catcher claws open and close in a way that is well suited for gripping cardboard boxes. If you encounter a machine with a claw like the one shown in the video, you can use it to pick up boxes by targeting the intentations or gaps in the box. The technique can even be used to pick up two boxes at once!
