- Robot arm (category Industry): picks goods off the end of the nearest conveyor within its reach
and puts them on the start of another conveyor within reach, or on a pallet a quarter turn on
(pick / put: auto or a side). One move per item coming in (cycle 0) or a set cycle; waits while
the line before it stands. The belt it feeds carries its goods at its pace and starts its loop
when they land (feeds carry a time offset `ph`), so arm and belts stay in step.
- Drawn as a 16-pose flipbook: two-link inverse kinematics per pose, each pose shown for a
sixteenth of the cycle by a stepped CSS animation (iso-flip; pose 0 alone when unanimated).
Poses pointing away from the viewer are drawn before the base, the others after it.
- New sprite method beam(a, b, n, w, mat): a square bar between two 3D points, six faces culled
and shaded like face(). Native, so the factory demo renders in 4.7 ms instead of 18.8 ms.
- Factory demo: a palletiser at the end of the carton line, a loading robot passing drums from the
incline onto the loading belt into the truck. MCP instructions on robot arms.
Checks: 70 Rust tests (arms and belts in step, waiting arm, beam faces from every side),
Studio 109/109, web 90/90.
- Producer (category Industry): a press making cartons, crates, drums, sacks or parts at a set
rate per minute; its ram goes down once per item, a green / red light shows running / stopped.
- Conveyor: drawn the way it runs (new prefab meta `directed`: the Studio turns the piece from
where the drag starts), belt width, height, rise (inclines), speed, goods and spacing; legs,
rails and a drive motor. Corners join without overlap (the receiving belt runs through, the
feeding one stops at its side).
- A conveyor starting on a producer's output side carries its goods at its rate; one starting at
another's end carries on with what that one carries. The gap is speed / rate. A stopped press or
belt stops the goods after it. Tooltips show speed, rate and source.
- The goods ride a group moving one gap per loop (no reordering), first fading in, last out.
- Script API: world_of(o, u, v), info_row(key, value); objects_on falls back to half of p.d.
- Theme: industry colours, LED colours (the marker's LED had none).
- examples/factory + Factory demo in the web Studio; MCP instructions on production lines.
Checks: 68 Rust tests (conveyor joints, feed and spacing, every view of the factory demo),
Studio 108/108 (draw direction, feed from a producer, rate change), web 89/89.
