864 finds + 64 reviews assigned 1-3 topics each from the new 18-topic controlled vocabulary (src/lib/topics.ts, lands in the next site commit). The retired gifts topic becomes a giftable tag on the 140 finds that carried it; 5 finds legitimately match no topic. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WZaczDJjL3xZ3u5spsN5AL

description: "A build-it-yourself three-armed robot that scribbles geometric patterns with three felt-tip pens simultaneously, teaching basic robotics through art output rather than a screen."

The three-armed automaton scribbles geometric patterns simultaneously with three felt-tip pens — you change pen height and angle to vary the output, so every run produces a slightly different drawing. It teaches rudimentary robotics through felt-tip marks on paper, a more memorable lesson than a screen, and doubles as an art machine with unpredictable results. The assembly itself is part of the lesson: the robot is only meaningful once you understand how it works.
