The Enhanced Automated Robotic Launcher, or E.A.R.L., which simulates different pin placement and ball-throwing scenarios, was used to develop string pinsetter technology.

Bowling officials named the robot pinsetter after legendary pro Earl Anthony.

A malfunction with the pinsetter at his home lane, which had been an easy fix in the past, caused Valastro's hand to become lodged and compressed inside the machine, his spokesperson said.

After his hand got stuck in the pinsetter, a 1 ½-inch metal rod slowly and repeatedly impaled his hand three times between his ring and middle fingers, the spokesperson explained to Fox News at the time.
