Abstract

A method for automatic centering of the rope on a cut to win type arcade game. Once the operator of the machine enters into the automatic setup mode the knife will move semi close to the string and start its procedure. The blade will move toward the string and cut. If the string is not cut the knife will move up a tiny, tiny bit and repeat the procedure over and over until the string is cut. At the time the string is cut, the computer knows now where the string is and will make its final adjustments to the code so the game will play as it was designed.
