‏Ever dreamt about building your own Arduino machine but never dared to? You’re not alone.

‏In a 5 days hackathon, with no previous experience or technical knowledge in physical computing, and not even knowing where to start, we built a fully functional claw machine (the kind that fetches puppets), controlled by an Arduino board.

‏In this talk we will share our experience, what challenges we faced and fun things we’ve learned. We will walk you through our journey, from figuring out the materials list, the motors, learning Arduino and electricity, to teamwork, collaboration and even winning the hackathon!
