What gripper did you use for that? Can I just pick one of them up somewhere?

[palmisano]

@IDreamInCode I think the owner of the arm custom made the gripper, I really don't know . . .

Why re-invent the wheel with modern technology? I can think of a hundred more interesting options besides making a $25,000 robot perform a $2 watches job..

[palmisano]

@KillaBeMe1 We weren't doing it to reinvent technology, we were doing it as a practice exercise to learn how to use more advanced technologies =P

Hows it able to detect the pieces?? Image Processing or knowing the location of pieces before itself .??

[palmisano]

@evolutionsdisaster Everything is preprogrammed, no sensors.

if only it could be harnessed for evil instead of good

[rumidom]

a digital watch could resolve your problem
