? Orbiter rings | Tabletop posts and ring toss game | Eye hand coordination | Action skill game | Art in motion toy
? This executive gift is a pendulum device, fidget toy and brainteaser. The object is to set the ring in motion, from one taller uniquely angled post in order to ring the second shorter conversely angled post. Players are challenged to learn six orbiter swings, each one different with increasingly difficult swing paths, and then to see which player will make the most ringers using those swings in order to win the match.
? The Orbiter is similar to the executive gift Newton''s Cradle in that they are both pendulum devices, used to demonstrate the laws of motion, and to serve a decorative function for the home and office. Newton''s Cradle and the Orbiter are part of a group of toys known as ''art in motion toys''.
? In order to score the Orbiter Grand Slam you must make six ringers in a row using all six swing types. For the last and most difficult of the grand slam swings you must make the ring fly around the taller post 2.5 times before landing on the shorter post. The swing concepts can be understood in minutes but they may take a lifetime to perfect.
? The Orbiter ring toss story began years ago at the Admirals Inn on the island of Antigua. The games creator David Copplestone was taking a sailing trip through the Caribbean in 1980. It was there that he joined a long line of people playing a Bimini ring toss game. The smiles on the faces and the wear on that hook showed this pastime''s popularity. As David played, he thought, ''If there was a desktop version of this game, millions of people could enjoy it.'' In 1990 the Orbiter was launched.
