Robotics Experiment: Claude Coding Failed Completely, Infrastructure Bugs Hinder Progress
verdakorz · x · 2026-08-30
The Bracket Bot team reported a failed attempt to fully use Claude (mainly Sonnet 3.5 and Opus 3.5) for coding a robotics project over a month. They concluded that robotics is too complex and requires long-horizon codebase structuring. Additionally, bugs in the classical stack or infrastructure code severely impede progress. They noted that competitors "vibe coding" their stack will face challenges.
