I want to make an instagram reel documenting what I did but I want to make it high quality
I’m building robot arms
3 fast cuts
that
play
poker
I LOVE gambling
insert mining for diamonds gambling meme
but I’m too busy building a company
So I’m making robot arms that gamble on my behalf

For this project I bought a
poker table chips SO101 arms
Today’s focus was to assemble the arm and have it pickup 1 poker chip
After spending hours on assembly and calibration I started a teleoperate session to find out the gripper is shi*

The stock SO-101 gripper is a 1 DOF parallel claw, designed to handle thicker objects

While the claw can grab more than 1 chip fine; becoming an elegant gambler like myself requires chip level precision, which the current design just cannot achieve

So my next steps are to:
- Design a new gripper
- Teleoperate the arm to pickup 1 chip
- Train a Vision Language Action model to reliably pick and place chips
Soon we’ll have an arm good enough to beat
