  The BOM for the components alone without the print is USD240. Why is the article talking about USD100?

    Official repo says $114 per arm, but I didn’t check their math :) github.com/huggingface/lerobot

      Their build instructions state 242 for a single arm. Lots of contradicting information. Maybe they are betting on insane economies of scale… 🙄

    Still peanuts compared to Parlor 6 - 2450€ for a diy kit, 3690 € for the assembled thing.

      I mean there are robot arms for a lot more than that, but that’s not the point. It’s like saying a Parol 6 costs 5 bucks, but it’s actually the price of the mounting screws.

  Are there videos of it operational? If there are in any of these links I missed it.

  Makes me think of the Big Bang Theory episode.

  I didn’t see what the software is you can use to controll it.
