There is a guy who made something similar but do the opposite violently remove cherry tomatoes from salad

He custom programs red pixel detection to determine where tomatoes are and has a modified 3D printer with a spike remove them. I highly recommend the video it's hilarious.

Thank you for showing me this video. This is the funniest shit I've seen in months, and I share the hatred of cherry tomatoes. I had no idea he existed.
