Carlito from Carlitos’ Contraptions had a problem, he had a locked safe that he wanted to open and he didn’t want to get a professional in to do the job for him.

So what did he do? Rather than cut it open or blow it up, he built a contraption that made use of a micro-controller and a servo motor to automatically dial out every possible combination.

Unfortunately, the servo motor that he selected was not powerful enough to do the job, better luck next time, Carlito; we look forward to seeing Mk2.
