Demo day at T-Works, Hyderabad🤖

My open-source humanoid hand mimicking people's gestures over BLE, built in 6 days at the Hardware First Residency.

The kids loved it most. Seeing their curiosity spark was the best part.

A huge thank you to PCB Cupid @PcbCupid, @buildwithsrini Srinivas and Basavraj.

They didn't just support Hardware First Residency. They lived it.

PCB designs, product designs, engineering challenges, last-minute fixes. They stayed at the hacker house, worked late into the night and helped builders turn ideas into functioning hardware.

This is what real hardware ecosystem support looks like.

Thank you for going all in.
