Baffle Box Update

In Response To: Baffle Box Update (Art Grater)

I like the dice tube; I also like the electronic dice generator on my iPhone. I like the dice generated by XG. Until and unless someone can demonstrate that any of these methods are not truly random, I'm fine with any dice mechanism and prefer all gadgets and artificial ones over the current method where some do and don't shake; some use their fingers in front of the cup; some constantly cock the dice or throw them on the floor; some shake and shake forever.

I know any electronic method or gadget and be fixed to facilitate cheating, but virtually every method in the world can be fixed.

I like the baffle box the best because I still am feeling like I am rolling the dice and I like the looks and feel of it. But I also have no problem with the dice tube.

In fact, I was going to make one a few years ago but when I "market-tested" it to the backgammon community, there was so much resistance that I didn't bother, and instead went to work on baffle boxes.
