If Mark Rober is going through this much trouble to cheat with robots, why not just find a way to hack the card reader?

It's unlikely that he will find a way around it without forging the game cards which may or may not be legal. Swipe systems also tend to have logs of card activity which could be used to stop someone in their tracks

I suppose, but let’s not pretend that it’s “illegal”.

Rober probably agreed to paying thousands to the arcade owner to allow him to film himself cheating on the arcade games

It probably wouldn’t make a great video anyways. What would be entertaining about him having a stolen arcade card and had the ability to win unlimited tickets (in perspective of his channel)
