As shown in the exemplary diagram of FIG. 4, the power supply unit 205 is configured to supply a power source from an external device or a power supply from an external source.

Referring to the operation and effect of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

The present invention is to produce a game board in a variety of forms, such as circular, square, oval, as shown in the example of Figure 6 according to the game scenario, the key panel is installed according to the production form of the game board.

The micro-robot 200 is also manufactured in various forms according to the production form and game scenario of the game board.

Therefore, one or several people can enjoy the game at the same time.

In the present invention, when the coin detector 107 detects coin input, the microcomputer 100 executes a program of a game scenario in which the CPU 101 is stored in the memory unit 102, and then, for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times. Oversee game progress.

For example, in the case of a racing game as illustrated in FIG. 5, the CPI 101 notifies the start and end of the game through the sound generator 104 and detects a key operation of the key input unit 105 to detect a data input / output unit ( It passes to each of the micro-robot (200-1 ~ 200-3) through 103.

If a game ends, it is determined whether to proceed with the rematch. If the game is in progress, the game starts again after the start of the game.

Thereafter, when all the games are finally finished, the micro robot that enters the first place is determined and the prize is paid through the prize dispenser 108.

The key input unit 105 determines the type and number of keys according to the game scenario, and transmits a request function according to the user's key operation to the CPI 101.

In the present invention, the micro-robot 200 to be put into the game is pre-programmed according to the scenario of the game and is stored in the internal memory of the CPI 201 and is operated by the microcomputer 100 according to the key manipulation of the key input unit 105. The transmitted command is received by the data input / output unit 202 to move to an arbitrary area on the game board.

The micro-robot 200 may be changed in structure and structure according to the type of each game, and produced in a comical form such as an animal.

The micro-robot 200 performs the behavior such as forward, backward, left and right rotation by the user's various commands according to the scenario of the game, and grasps the surrounding environment through the sensor unit 203. The driving unit 204 is controlled to perform the correct movement.

The sensor unit 203 is for sensing the position and the surrounding state of the microcomputer 200, and an infrared light sensor, a line CCD, a two-dimensional CCD, and the like are used.

The driving unit 204 is a block for moving the microcomputer 200 to an arbitrary position on the game board, and uses a stepping motor capable of precise manipulation, and in some cases, a DC servo motor.

In addition, when a behavior pattern for pushing the opponent robot is required in the game, a solenoid valve and a gripper are included in the driving unit 204 when a behavior pattern for catching an object is required.

The data input / output unit 202 receives a command from the microcomputer 100 for operating the microrobot 200 according to a game scenario and informs the microcomputer 100 of the operation result of the microrobot 200. Communication block.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the microcomputer 100 controls the game progress while time-divisionally searching the game progress of the plurality of micro-robots 200.

The power supply unit 205 may be divided into two types, a power supply method by a battery as shown in FIG. 4 (a) and a power supply method by wires as shown in FIG. 4 (b).

The power supply system using the battery may use various batteries such as Ni-Cd battery or nickel-metal.

In addition, in the power supply system by wires, a grounding system in which power is supplied from a game board may be used.

Such a present invention can implement a game such as the illustration of Figure 7 described as follows.

This game is a case of applying the game "Mugunghwa has bloomed", and the game progression can be progressed by limiting a predetermined time for each step. The game is a game that reaches the finish line without being detected by a celebrity (game progress computer).

In other words, if several people are playing the game at the same time, points are given to those who have reached the finish line within a certain time in any given step, and the next step is allowed to proceed. Prizes will be given to the users of the robots who have checked and won first place.

The rule of the game is that the micro robot, which continues to move when looking back after the Sule Robot (the detection circuit of the microcomputer 100), which is located at the finish line, shouts, "The Rose of Sharon has bloomed" It is a game to start again.

The user operates the microrobot 200 by operating the forward, stop, left and right rotation or speed adjustment keys provided in the key input unit 105. The microrobot 200 displays a blue light during operation and a red light when stopped. To inform the user of the operating status.

If the game ends within a predetermined time or less, the fanfare is sounded and a predetermined amount of prizes are paid to the user of the first robot.

In the present invention that can advance such a game, the winning probability is programmed in consideration of the comicality, contingency, and unexpected variables of the game scenario.

As described in detail above, the present invention has the effect that the motion and sound of the micro-robots can be directly transmitted to the person in three dimensions to enjoy a more realistic game.
