EX1

The EX1 is a crane game released by Elaut in 2001.

The Elaut EX1 Crane Machine is a highly advanced and precise take on the classic claw machine design. Featuring the patented Intellicontroller logic system, and Intelligrab claw and gantry mechanisms, this machine is designed with the player, and the operator in mind.

Features
 Control and adjustability: 

The EX1 cranes include the Intellicontroller logic system, which is a compact PCB unit responsible for the control and monitoring of machine status, inputs, outputs and sounds. Intelligrab Logic is known for its quick and responsive operation, buttery smooth rigging, and excellent sound quality, putting EX1 on the map of best claw machines ever made. EX1s are excellent for profits, as well as being relatively fair to the player, by providing a robust payout system. Operators are able to make changes to the machines settings very easily through the use of the Intellicontroller, which is a rectangular device with an LCD, and button controls. This is used to change settings such as payouts, gantry speed, initial and retention strenghts, drop heights, volume and self tests. It also displays the machine quiescent status through its LCD, which can help with fault finding in the rare event that something goes wrong.

 Music and SFX 

The Intellicontroller Logic System allows for interchangeable sound cartridges, containing different music and sounds for different themes. Each Elaut machine that features the Intellicontroller Logic System has a respective deafault sound cart. The one used in the EX1 crane has We Like To Party for the gameplay, Instant replay for the attract, instant replay for the drop sound when Instant Replay is enabled, and some custom sound effects from Elaut for the non instant replay drop sounds. There are also default error sounds which remain fluent throughout each Intelli machine.

The EX1 always has a red and yellow theme, and comes in 2 layouts. One with mainly red, and one with mainly yellow.
