The video itself looks like recorded with a potato but it's interesting anyway:

u/Muilkinginuk claims he's working directly with TTC and will post more interesting switch content in the future.

This post gained a lot of attention on Reddit and one frequent question was: why does the machine press the switch a few times?

According to Muilkinginuk, the machine is measuring continuity and resistance.
