This conversation is drawing a lot of heated attention.
I see it as teams learning between design engineering and systems engineering and that's great.
I see more functional robots than I have in years. Bring on more components, limit the complete assemblies.

I put some of the super-basic parts in the list because it was brought up on the other thread... Personally, I think it would be nuts to try to create your on bearings (or many other parts) for this... It also is meant to demonstrate a continuum.. None of us are going super-natural and mining our own ore (yes, that would be ridiculous) and, therefore, we rely on some outside manufacturing. However, the question as to how far should it go is really an interesting one.
