    Building and (most importantly) programming one of those was a pipe dream back when I used to browse Let's Make Robots a bunch of years ago.

    Sadly nowadays I just can't get into these projects that'd need me to spend money and would just sit on a drawer until the ends of the time after completed.

    Those look really cool! I looked a bit, but don't find the source for the kinematics? I'm guessing this is in the android app, which isn't source available?

    I can’t find the print volume required for producing all of the parts. Anyone see or know what it takes to print the largest parts?

    This reminds me so much of Wild Wild West

    Before I clicked through, I was thinking this was for building a Stewart platform. This is pretty cool, too.

    Are these being sold as completed units yet? And if so, where?
