Milestone reached!
After struggling with gearbox longevity issues for the first half of the year, we are happy to report that our new hammering design is currently showing a lot of promise. In September we were able to drill for a longer period of time for the first time, allowing us to reach a first milestone of 20 meters of depth. While the focus now shifts a bit towards lose ground drilling in anticipation of the introduction of the extrusion unit to the system in April 2026, we will continue to drill deeper with the current setup in the coming months.
New team members
Over the summer, we were able to strengthen the team further with new additions in the mechanical engineering area. Vital joined us in August, supporting the workshop, testing and movement unit team, while Karl joined in mid September to help accelerate the development of the extrusion unit. Beyond that, we had Arianne and Andri join as new interns as a replacement for Kristian and Joel whose internships ended in Fall. Joel will remain with us though, as he decided to write his master thesis together with us. We continue to be on the lookout for mechanics that can support us in the workshop.
Optimizations on the movement unit
During the last field tests we have been struggling more and more with mud in the movement unit. The mud started clogging the release valves, not allowing the cylinder chambers to reliably empty anymore. We have now made adjustements that we are confident will fix the issues and will continue our tests in the coming weeks.
If you want a quick look at what the platform is about, Input Wiki lays out its core idea without extra clutter, making it easy to decide whether it fits your needs.
The core puzzle in marble sort is easy to explain: a box clears after three marbles of the same color, and there's a moving belt full of everything you drop. That explanation doesn't prepare you for how much planning matters.
Pixel Flow is the game I open when I want to relax but also kind of use my brain. The board is stacked, so you have to clear front layers to see what's behind, and the pig queue never quite lines up the way you hope. Last week I lost because too many pigs piled up in the waiting area, and I actually restarted the level immediately, which says something.
For those who prefer learning in short sessions, the chip-based approach to content delivery works particularly well. The site covers study skill improvement and edtech adoption without overwhelming readers with dense articles. A compact education and career resource helps maintain momentum through manageable pieces.
I'm not the type to replay puzzles, but once I found the meowdoku answer for today's hard board full of colored regions I immediately wanted the next one. It's like eating one chip.
