1st Place: Nova taught Grok to reverse-engineer binaries into clean C. Started with 262KB GameBoy ROMs, ended up rebuilding a 1995 car’s ECU runtime.

Last night we won 1st Place at @SpaceXAI's Grokathon! So excited for flying out to see a Starship launch in TX later this year.
We built a harness to allow Grok Build to reverse engineer old binary executables. Through MCP interfaces that wrap static analysis (disassembly via Ghidra), memory inspection/perturbation (via the process emulator), and interaction (computer use through input and visual feedback), we were able to rewrite old GameBoy ROMs as big as 262KB in clean C! We even did an exploratory demo of applying this paradigm to automobile firmware, and successfully reconstructed a 1995 BMW control unit’s runtime.
Thanks so much to my superb teammates @supratikp07 and @henryzhangumich and to the organizers, especially @forwarddeploy and @ishand
