We post a lot about robotics, but that's just a piece of the puzzle. Anything that involves labor in PCBA is a target.
Our universal fixture system lets us swap boards between machines in seconds.
Job with 36 unique cut tape parts, out of bags, loaded, aligned, coded, oriented, and ready to run in 28 minutes.
Our goal by December is to get that down to 10 minutes
Part rotation is super confusing. There are like four different rotations in play and error prone.

To reduce mistakes, operators get quick rotation sanity check after loading parts.
From a customer call this morning, "rubidium atomic vapor cell" is probably the coolest combination of words I've heard in a long time.
Continuing work to productionize on our board auto-alignment.
An operator should be able place a PCB on the pick-and-place at an angle, hit a button, and align perfectly in a few seconds.
Wrapped up with @Techstars Mentor Madness!
About 80 meetings in two weeks with some super helpful people. Some directly relevant and in industry, but you never know where great advice will come from.
Time to get back to the shop!
As we grow our engineering team, the biggest issue my monorepo.
Look, I'm not going to die on this hill, but I will fake a coma on this hill.

(can finally post this)
Techstars has meant a lot to me, and got my career started in Boulder startups. Beyond excited to run through- as a founder this time- and as part of the original program's restart.
