Your mission is to build machines that:
create value,
make life better,
provide a service,
set the world straight and
earn a fortune!

Deposit a quarter in a coin sensor and this fortune teller will spin your future with only a 75% margin for error.

When you feed this entrepreneur a quarter, it chomps, swallows and burps. Then it offers a peanut in exchange. 

Best deal in all of Massachusetts!

For only a quarter, this dude will play a tune and put a smile on your face.
