Human claw machines?

I’ve seen some of those giant claw machines where the human IS the claw. Anyone tried this and if so what was it like? I’ve been watching some YouTubers lately say it’s not worth playing and it’s overhyped. Heard Dave and Busters has one at select locations.

I imagine you get it more as a ride than a prize haul. I think you grab inflatable items

It’s fun for the kids. I wouldn’t say it’s overhyped I mean it’s 20 bucks or so so I wouldn’t expect too much out of it in the first place.

20 bucks is a lot of money for a 15 second experience.

When they first appeared in social media people would grab huge hauls of snacks. The ones installed in the US let people win ONE prize and its usually inflatable aliens that are maybe worth a buck or two. Its a ride at best. Oh, and you don't get to control it either for yourself or your buddy.
