Delta robots like this automated phone tester (http://www.marginallyclever.com/blog/2014/03/automate-your-phone-app-testing-with-a-delta-robot/) are awesome: high speed, accuracy, and mesmerizing to watch. [Justin Engler], a security researcher from ISEC Partners (also speaks at DEFCON on occasion) needed a robot to help with repetitive testing. He contacted the folks over at Marginally Clever (http://www.marginallyclever.com/) to see if they could help him out, and they came up with this slick delta robot.
Normally they build these robots out of plywood, but [Justin] requested a bit more of a modern look, and although it looks blue, it’s actually clear acrylic: they haven’t removed the protective film yet. The robot is quite functional, but [Justin] plans on upgrading it in the future to increase the top speed. It currently has a built-in camera, using OpenCV to watch the log-in screen as it tries every combination as quickly as possible.
