While there’s definitely better/more reliable/more efficient methods (a moving arm would rapidly wear, and there’s lots of unnecessary motor usage in general, as opposed to switched gating, for example) but in terms of “purty” and current design ethos, the creator of this doodad is pretty damn good.
With a shroud on the arm’s motor and a few other small finishing tweaks, as a consumer with numerous badly-jumbled candies I would be very satisfied, as long as the MTBF was decent. The creator is definitely destined for a successful future, if not there already =) .
