Looking like we are on track.
Soon on @machinedotfun
Each part of the team is working at the same high pace in order to reach our final goal:
ship the first ever claw machine, that can’t cheat you.
We are going to be live on @machinedotfun next week.
build log, digital side
Alex is welding the real one, so this week I did the part nobody sees.
The whole machine now runs in SimArena by @codecopenflow at the real size, 70x70x110cm, real physics. It took a lot of ugly failed grabs in there before the claw finally carried a ball to the chute, and that's way cheaper than failing in steel lol
Then it bugged me that people have to trust me on what's inside. So the site has a workbench now where you pull apart the Pi, the stepper and the claw and watch each one work.
Why bother? Because this thing is going on @machinedotfun and I don't want anyone touching a black box.
Open the machine first, then decide.
You can drive it yourself btw, grablab.fun/lab

no one is working harder than the @SolanaFndn devrel team flashing hardware badges to delight event goers in london this week
this tiny red board is the reason we can't cheat you even if we wanted to
the key lives inside the chip and never leaves it.
the machine signs every grab itself,
we just get to watch like everyone else
thanks Alex 🫡
This chip that we integrated for the @Grablabfun project is called the Trust M Express from Infineon Technologies, it’s a hardware based security controller, designed for scaling IOT, which is exactly what we’re going to achieve here! Make sure to follow our journey, and play on the only claw machine that never cheats 🦾
bro has been losing to the same claw since 1986 💀
we built the one that can't cheat him
launching soon on @machinedotfun
peaq integration at 99%.
the last 1% is always the loudest one in the workshop
2.5M machines on peaq and not one of them gives out prizes yet. we’re 99% there 👀

A 3mm hole is the difference between “trust me bro” and actual proof.
People won’t see this part, but it’s the part that matters.
Every win on Grablab depends on that beam seeing the ball.
Glad it can see again lol
sensor built for factory doors vs one 45mm ball.
ball won round one 😅
if the machine can’t see the win, the win didn’t happen. that’s why this fix mattered more than it looks
We overcame yet another challenge working on @Grablabfun. Using industrial photoelectric devices meant for handling different types of use cases like huge doors in factories and so on, also means that the beam created by the switch just blasted through our balls that the claw grabs and the validation system suddenly couldn’t perceive the ball… we had to find a way: time of ordering other ones (sensors) meant extra delays so we found a solution by blocking the beam and leaving just a 3mm aperture hole for a small laser like beam to go through, which worked like magic! Full speed ahead !! Launching on @machinedotfun

BREAKING: Solana Privacy Rings from @Helius are live on Solana mainnet
a treasury where every call is signed and on the record. same reason we built a claw that signs every grab lol
welcome to the timeline 🫡

Garage Notes #1: three teams building robotics in public
1. @Sextus_Sensus by @Moddtcclure and @iLammbo: robot training data
2. @orbie_robot by @jaiswalashok: a home robot for pets
3. @LamportRobotics by @R4nsack: a robot hardware wallet

Put a Gemma-based model in a robot body. First thing it does: scan the room, spot the giant TV, and start a movie break.
Awesome to see @NVIDIAAI build on Gemma 4 E4B, fitting live conversation, tool calls, animations, and a vision model onto a single 8GB Jetson!

The bitter lesson comes for robotics.
