Tapster

The idea is that instead of testing your cell phone apps by hand every time you do a new release, you just have this thing do it for you. The structure can be 3D printed. Rather than tower carriages, it uses the "standard" delta configuration of overhead motors actuating "elbow" arms.

The first thing I thought was, "I wish I could hook this up to a keyboard so I didn't have to deal with stupid autocorrect."

Thats a cool device, I would think the Orion could be modified to do something similar.

I guess you'd have to add another two axes, one to rotate the effector and the other to move a pair of pokers toward or away from each other.
