Do you want to know who is beating you at Wordament? Robots are!! Damn Robots!!!

Take a look at this video that I bumped into via our friends at NokiaInnovation…

According to the creator of said robot – he notes

Based on a combination of a CNC micro-milling machine using 3 salvaged DVD drive stepper motors and platforms, mounted on a PVC frame run by MS Excel (calculations) & GRBL shield (stepper control).

After a few weekends of work I’ve got the bot running through the list of 3 letter words with around 85-90% accuracy and an average rank of 58%. I currently have the calculations ready for 4-6 letter words (gets pretty calculation intense from there).

I need a Wordament robot of my own….
