Put 6 weights in the die, one per face. A mechanism controls each weight individually, moving it from near the face (likely to land down) to near the center (likely to land up). Combine it with something that can detect roll outcomes.
This would probably cost a lot of money to fit in a normal sized die.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoWhy not have an electromagnet at each face and ball-bearing in a 3 way race. You weight the device by turning on the opposite number's coil. You don't guarantee a particular roll but the statistical weighting should be pretty strong. I wonder if you tuned the e-m coil for a particular frequency if you could make the device passive and weight it using an external frequency change? Or use computer vision, a passive dice with a metal insert and a magnetic table; switch on the magnet when the dice hits the table right (this version would be highly obvious but perhaps could be made less so).
