R2C was tasked with creating a pedestal arcade that was powered by a PC handheld device running the Steam games interface. We built a Steam themed cabinet with custom cut, Steam Machine-inspired graphic elements and lighting.

DESIGN

What sets this machine apart is the way in which a Steam Deck can easily be connected and played collaboratively in classic arcade style.

MANUFACTURING

Every Pedestal machine is designed, cut, wired and assembled in our Lake Barrington shop with no outsourcing.

Every part is CNC-cut from cabinet-grade panels off the same digital file, so tolerances stay identical from the first part to the last.

The control panel is wired by hand, with every button, switch and sensor tied back to a single labeled harness, so anything on the panel can be serviced without disturbing anything else.

Panels are hand assembled into boxes, components are installed and t-moulding and plexiglass is added to finish the look.

Every cabinet is tested end to end and crated, then arrives set up and playable — levelled on its feet and ready for its first game.
