// 03 · The build standard

Where the market cuts corners, we build

  • 12CabinetMarket standard: Some cabinets still ship with acrylic, which scratches and clouds over timeZDV build: Tempered glass all round on a steel cabinet
  • 14WarrantyMarket standard: Windows run from 90 days to a year; overseas parts can mean a long waitSource ↗ZDV build: 2 years, with a Seattle + LA spares depot
  • 09TelemetryMarket standard: Often partial or bolted on after the sale; most of it counts revenue, not stockSource ↗ZDV build: Module built in; reporting rolling out machine by machine
  • 10PaymentMarket standard: Bill and card acceptance are usually add-ons that can move the priceSource ↗ZDV build: Cashless-ready harness on every unit
  • 03Grip settingsMarket standard: Usually set at the machine (DIP switch, hidden pot, mini keyboard), so each change is a site visitSource ↗ZDV build: Digital profiles from the app, with an audit log
  • 07Prize checkMarket standard: Light-based strip sensors are easily thrown off by sunlightSource ↗ZDV build: Load cell confirms the win and the prize weight
