These are valid reasons, for some folks. For others, those robots are exactly why Ri3D exists...


I'm a fencesitter on this one; I can see both the risk of copycats and the "oh, hey, this works, how do we optimize it for our current design/manufacturing situation" factor at play. Therefore, I remain undecided.
