In the end, Emma and the factory decided to adopt the modified software, but with caution. They worked with Ellipse to ensure a smooth transition and to address any concerns they might have.
The next day, Emma received a mysterious package with no return address. Inside, she found a small note with a single sentence: "Look for the truth in the shadows of the code." The note was unsigned, but it seemed to hint at a deeper issue with the software.
The meeting took place in a nondescript café on the outskirts of town. Emma was surprised to find that Ellipse was a brilliant, yet reclusive, programmer who had been working on the project for months. They revealed that they had indeed created a modified version of the software, which addressed many of the issues the factory was facing.
Intrigued, Emma began to dig into the code, searching for any clues that might lead her to the source of the problem. As she worked tirelessly, she discovered a series of obscure references to an earlier version of the software, V630 Rev D.
The trail led her to an online forum, where a group of developers and engineers were discussing the limitations of FANUC's RoboGuide. One user, known only by their handle "Ellipse," claimed to have reverse-engineered the software and discovered a way to bypass certain restrictions.
