The winning machine experienced an “end-of-the-world” themed music included all through its run—ranging from Jaws to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Indiana Jones, Planet Data Academy wrote.
The crew spent much more than 5,000 several hours to build the machine.
Every single job assigned in the competition’s twenty five-12 months history—such as peeling an apple, juicing an orange, toasting bread, creating a hamburger, modifying a light bulb, loading a CD, and sharpening a pencil—was accomplished by the Purdue machine.
To full so a lot of jobs, the device experienced a platform that consisted of two rotating paddlewheels to expose and adjust new sets of modules, to chronologically attain the duties.
