I think this is a fantastic discussion to bring up. I do think it is only a matter of time before companies start selling kits to make game specific systems (intake, climber, shooter...) that could be combined to build a complete robot. The past few years have brought companies building complete robots, providing CAD drawings and selling kits of the more challenging to produce parts for these robot systems. The next step is for companies to explicitly sell robot systems along with step by step instructions.



I think it would be fun for the company if they could sell them for a significant profit.
I do not think companies will ever sell a robot in a box. Not for moral reasons but because cots parts can't be more then $400. A robot in a box is worth more then $400.
