The present invention relates to a novel robotic pin setter device. The device is a robotic pin setter that performs all functions of typical pin setters for standard bowling operations on two lanes simultaneously. The device comprises a housing component with a plurality of robotic arms that act to reset all ten pins quickly on both lanes. The plurality of robotic arms are each attached to a base component secured within the housing component via a mechanical linkage or rotational center pin or any other suitable securing means as is known in the art. The housing component further comprises an object recognition device and a control unit.

The present invention relates to a bowling game apparatus for a flying disc and, more particularly, to a bowling game apparatus, for a flying disc, which is automated such that a user does not have to set bowling pins and recover a thrown flying disc. Since the user does not have to set the bowling pins and recover the flying disc, user convenience is enhanced. The bowling game apparatus has a simple structure and thus can be manufactured at a low cost and can easily be installed in a limited space.
