ARMPAL can be used for multiple entertainment modes such as single-player entertainment, two-player battles, and multiplayer cooperation. They recommend the following 8 ways of playing according to the different requirements for operational proficiency, the actual duration of the game (short time≤3 min, long time＞3 min), and the number of participants in the game. The players can use the mechanical robot arm-calipers kit to stack up the wooden cube blocks in turn in the central areas on Armpal exclusive table mat. If one side fails to stack or the wooden block tower falls down, the other side wins the game. The players can use the excavator bucket kit to move the goods in your stacking area to the balance scale. When time is up, the very side with heavier goods to the balance scale (the side of the balance is lower) wins. Two people operate a device (each person with one of the 2 handles) simultaneously , each group of players transports wooden blocks from the Stacking Area to the Central Area within the 3-min game, and the group with more wooden blocks wins when time’s up.
NEW OPTIONS FOR PARTY GAMES AND ENTERTAINMENT TIME.

ANTA CLARA, CA - July 23rd 2020 - Hardware Start-Up Hyper Lychee launches its first product on Kickstarter. Skadu, a handheld power scrubber with a unique approach to scrubbing, makes removing even the most stuck up grime fast and effortless. The two co-founders of Hyper Lychee Hannan and Juzer are cousins and they’ve roped in their most talented friends and close family to build this company. One day Hannan walked into the kitchen of his great uncle and aunt who are both 60 years old in New Jersey and saw them scrubbing/cleaning by hand and they were struggling, he realized that this is a painful task not just for him but even worse for seniors - a task that we’ve just given into.

They believe that now is the time for science-based technological innovation, and everyone should have access to the best. Their focus is to apply the latest cutting-edge UV-C, farUV-C, and laser technologies in medical and industrial research applications. In the past few years, Measure Inc and its subsidiaries successfully brought multiple industrial-grade pro laser products to market through crowdfunding, which can now easily be found on Amazon or Google.
UNLIKE MANY FIRST TIME CREATORS, THEY ALREADY HAVE PROVEN EXPERIENCE TO BUILD HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS.
However, we had an interview with them. Here are some of the interesting facts about the product. 1. Who is behind the UV mask? Founder of UVMask is Boz Zou, and the PR representative of UVMask is k Rachel Sanders. 2.Where are you from? The UVMask team is based in the US ,Colorado. 3. How did you get the inspiration? The idea of creating UVMask

came after our founder’s trip to Japan where he saw people wearing masks everywhere. There was one thing that united them all. They were all uncomfortable to wear. Shortly after that trip, a huge team of scientists and engineers started creating the most powerful mask to provide people with bacteriafree and natural breathing experience. 4. What’s been the most challenging part? Of course, creating a mask that will both use UV-C light with enough intensity to kill bacterias and will be safe for people, is not easy. We spent a lot of time on testings and experiments and are very satisfied with the final result. 5. How long it takes? The team of scientists and engineers has spent 2 years on developing and bringing UVMask into a reality. 6. What benefits are you experiencing from it so far? We created the UVMask for others and expect them to benefit from it. What makes us happy is the heartwarming comments and good intentions that people are buying the mask with.
7. What helpful piece of advice would you give to others who are interested in your invention? During these hard period each of us should feel responsibility not only for ourselves but also for people around and we are happy that we managed to finish the developing process now so people can wear the UVMask and be 100% sure of their safety. 8. Highlights of the product? Our patent-pending SterileVortex then inactivates all airborne pathogens using ultra-high intensity UV-C light, bringing total protection efficiency to 99.99%. The only mask on the market capable of doing this in real-time. ● Dual-Way Air Protection: UVMask purifies both the air you breathe in and breathe out, making it safe for everyone around. ● Patented Sterile-Vortex tech: First-ever face mask that produces UV-C light powerful
