If you want to see this entire framework applied to a complex robot arm teardown, Jeremy breaks it all down in his latest video.

Reverse engineering isn't just taking things apart. It's a systematic process of discovery.
I just watched @jeremy_fielding tear down a robot arm, and his framework for reverse engineering is a masterclass.
Here is the exact 4-step process he uses to break down complex machinery π§΅
3. Read the Design Intent:
Look for intentional maintenance features. Jack screw holes for press-fits, pry divots, tensioning slots. Evaluate why parts were cast vs machined. Never assume a weird design choice is a mistakeβit's usually a solution to a problem the original team hit.
Solid breakdown.
TL;DR on Grok:
- Most cost-effective model available right now
- Struggles with one-shot prompts
- Speed and efficiency make up for it
