Intelligent Extra Arm (IEA) grabs an iPhone for the prize

dixonselvan — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 05:58:39 GMT

While the Shift It Design Challenge was announced, I wasn't actively participating and contributing in Element14 Community (due to some personal reasons). But this challenge seemed to be a perfect opportunity to comeback, to learn and engage with the community.

I learned a lot from my project as well from the other contestants' projects. I learned how effectively I can use Edge Impulse and Object detection. I got a chance again to create projects with Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 and Raspberry Pi.

I learned how not to crimp connectors and to redo all connections again from scratch without wasting while having limited resources. Thanks to TE Connectivity, all their components were of premium quality and loved doing projects with them.

There were challenges regarding timeline, shipment of prizes but a huge thanks to Element14 Community team for proactively handling and making sure to keep us updated. Special thanks to [mention:2c8bbc1da27c407d8ce40210ca76ae9a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] who didn't miss an update on the shipment of prizes and making sure I get the prize. Also, thanks to [mention:687981bbb0f34d3584b51cfca4f9c5fe:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] , [mention:e533a280d27446f88d5eca64e725a4fb:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] for helping with shipment and other challenge related support.

Though my family were expecting the "iRobot Roomba Self Emptying Robot Vacuum Cleaner" which was the prize initially, due to the challenges with the shipment, it was replaced with a more rewarding iPhone 16 plus as prize! Now I have an additional phone to shoot the project videos [emoticon:98f842990f454422aa6a04953955f9d9]

Hi Both,

I am sorry it has taken so long to get your prizes.

I was trying to work with a supplier on this; however, they couldn't fulfil the request. This is now being worked on in-house with support from our India team.

I am hoping to get a reply from them soon regarding the quote for your prizes. Once this has been confirmed, I will be able to send you both the tracking for your prizes.

Sorry again for how long this is taking.

Thanks

Alice
