I was responding to iamleppert's assertion that it'd be easier to use a gantry based system versus a SCARA arm like T Mobile used. Either method runs into most of the same issues including the end effector (pokey-bit that touches the screen like a finger) which seems like the bit Huawei was having trouble with given that's the bit they stole. Ultimately the real trouble probably isn't the actual arm or gantry but all the software around it to determine what's on the screen and if the phone is functioning properly with respect to the expected test results and the response times which seems what they were interested in. Maybe that's just my bias though and there may be some major hurdles with the function of the fingertip.
