I own a couple of Phantom Force and was wondering out of all the Phantoms which one moves it pieces the fastest as videos of the Mephisto Phantom seems to move a lot quicker than my two robots.
May the force be with you regards

Though I don’t know which of the aforementioned units moves the fastest, I did take notice of the inordinately long time the Phantom took to setup all the pieces at the onset of a new game, castle, etc.
While observing the window dressing demo games in the early ‘80s, I opined that a second robotic arm with magnetic pickup head could half the setup time, but then there’s the dreaded production cost issue – already rather high on these units to begin with.
Of course if the end user is completely deaf and lives alone there’s...Acoustic Levitation Regards,
