01

Challenge

Forty-eight hours, one bench, and a judging panel that wanted a live demonstration.

02

Approach

We agreed on a working demo in the first hour, then spent the rest of the time protecting it: nothing was merged that had not run on the real arm.

03

Solution

A three-axis arm with a camera and a small classifier running on the device, sorting mixed parts into bins in front of the judges.

The arm at hour forty.
