Haha need to buy them all up before anyone knows they are no longer a dead end project. Massive respect to this guy for doing the very hard route and supporting 100% open source! Legend in the game

The only terrifying part of a chainsaw on a robot arm is ‘art school’.

I’m all for it!

If you watch the video you’ll see that he put up some quite extensive safety including sensors that shut off power if a person goes past areas.

Thanks for mentioning Ca Lem.
Never heard of him before.
