HANDSFREE DICE ROLLER
A dice rolling apparatus comprising a base, a controller, a sensor, a motor comprising a rotor, a dice enclosure comprising a member, a connecting structure. The member is attached to an inner surface of the shell of the dice enclosure and is positioned in a direction substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotor. The connecting structure connects the rotor to the dice enclosure where the connecting structure extends from the rotor along the axis of rotation of the rotor. The sensor detects a motion proximate from the sensor and sends a triggering signal to the controller, and the controller sends a controlling signal to the motor when receiving the triggering signal from the sensor. The rotor and the dice enclosure rotates when the motor receives the controlling signal, and the dice placed inside the dice enclosure roll by making contact with the member.
