New Games From UNIS For IAAPA 2025: Spin City; Monster Jet Riders; More

Next up on the IAAPA 2025 preview roster is UNIS. I remember first coming across them back in 2009, and they have come a long way since that time. They lean heavy into redemption & crane product, which is not our main focus here, so we’ll cover their new video titles first, then get into the prize/ticket stuff. As is often the case, they have a lot of floor space at the show, with two big booth spaces, #1035 & #1335...

Hot Metal — DIY Blacksmithing Forge

Last year I decided I needed a forge so that I could advance my blacksmithing skills as another technique for my sculpting. There are many commercial models available but, being retired, I have more time than money so I decided to try my hand at making one. To start, I studied YouTube videos of DIY forges. There are many and I watched them all. None were exactly what I wanted so I set out to design a hybrid. I researched...

New Games From Andamiro USA For IAAPA 2025: Nickelodeon Kart Racers Arcade, Marksman, More

The next company we’re taking a look at for IAAPA 2025 is Andamiro USA. This year, the company is putting a little more video content out than normal; if you are new to the site, we tend to put most of our focus on video games instead of redemption, since the latter doesn’t really need a “signal boost” as such. Andamiro tends to be heavily focused on supporting the redemption side of the industry, which we will discuss briefly, but...

UNO Q toolroom management keeps loaner tools from disappearing

Arduino Team — November 10th, 2025 In particularly well-organized professional settings, you’ll find toolrooms where employees can check out the tools they need for specific jobs.

Bob Clagett designed an Arduino UNO Q-based system that achieves that dream. This system can’t actually locate a missing drill or 10mm socket, but it...
