It's impossible to lose using this dice

This week I designed a dice (or die) that will allow me to win at snakes and ladders every single time. I used an Arduino with some basic electronics equipment, electromagnets with magnets embedded in a loaded dice that gave the result I wanted.

What I love is that his family knows what he does, so he could easily be like "I wanted to learn how to roll dice in the best way possible to win games of chance" Delightfully silly flipping the dice on them after it stopped moving
-
Petition for Mike to learn how to walk on his hands
-
I don't know if it will work but maybe you can reduce the current so that the probability of getting a 6 is not at 100% and that rolling the dice looks more natural
-
Dude, am I the only one who actually thought that Mike learned the art of a perfect dice roll from the thumbnail??!
-
Would have loved a part at the end, where you revealed the secret to them.
-
"Sometimes it looks a bit suspicious." Like, every roll?

a proper loaded die that you palm out is actually a lot harder to detect, but MUCH harder to use. you have to palm the regular die when you pick it up to roll, then roll your loaded die that was already in your palm, then you have to palm up the loaded die after your roll, leaving behind the regular die. doing that swap seamlessly is really hard and takes practice. a good loaded die has no obvious tell its loaded though because it only changes the odds. the magnetic die is extremely obvious lol

I enjoy all of your videos. Perfect for watching on a lunch break. My favorite type of video that you make are the ones where you take a skill that seems frustratingly difficult but that some people are able to do effortlessly, and you teach yourself to do it. Spinning a basketball, throwing cards, keepie ups... these are the ones that got me hooked.

Amazing. Thinking about it a little, and you have the perfect excuse for keeping the dice tray in the correct spot: under the camera! I would loved to see the reactions after they figured out out though.

If you rolled it into a glass bowl on the table you would only need one electromagnet as the dice would naturally settle in the middle. So it wouldn’t appear to be “snapping” to a specific location each time. You could also turn down the magnetism with this setup for a more natural bounce and roll.

I really liked this style of video. Freshened things up
-
I would love to see more arduino projects. They're fun to watch and are good inspiration
-
Great video! Just would have liked to see an actual reveal to your "victims'" where you remove the table cloth. Even though I'm quite sure they have an idea how it works
-
Love the new video. Nicely stilized and very funny. Would have loved to see more the process of you learning how to work the elektronics.
-
You can see its magnetic from miles away! 😂 but good job on the execuion 😊
-
First thoughts is that it's voice activated and uses magnets... will edit when I have watched 50% right, great video Mike!
-
Loved this, glad to see you are finding new ways of making videos with a similar feel to your usual videos!
-
I love these engineering type videos where you just make things I really hope you make more
-
Fun video. How did you disguise the loud clicking sound when switching polarity when you were playing and trying not to be caught?
-
You know, if you use the right magnetic field configuration, you could potentially make it flip between the intermediate numbers by aligning the magnetic fields such that north and south poles of the magnets align parallel to the table surface rather than perpendicular edit: I will say something thou, you have leveled up your making to a pretty damn high level, nicely done!
