Joystick Maze is an educational labyrinth game with the objective of demonstrating
mechanical linkage while moving a steel ball across a game board from point A to
point B. The game board consists of two parallel connected surfaces with the upper
surface incorporating a series of holes and rails, while the lower surface acts
as a retrieval platform should the ball fall through any of the holes. The steel
ball is moved by gravity resulting from the tilting of the game board. A remote
control device (Joystick) effectuates the tilting through rigid linkage. The linkage
is connected to rotator bearings, directly attached to the under surface of both
the game board and joystick, which are seated in a ringed housing. The construction
provides for precise coordinated movement between the control device and the board
simultaneously eliminating the necessity of a housing thereby allowing observation
of the mechanical linkage.
