minus-squaretofubl@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoThe BOM for the components alone without the print is USD240. Why is the article talking about USD100?
minus-squareffhein@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoOfficial repo says $114 per arm, but I didn’t check their math :) https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot
minus-squaretofubl@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-211 days agoTheir build instructions state 242 for a single arm. Lots of contradicting information. Maybe they are betting on insane economies of scale… 🙄 Edit: Haha, I think I figured it out. USD 120 are the 3d print parts alone. That’s not a false promise at all!
minus-squaredeafboy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoStill peanuts compared to Parlor 6 - 2450€ for a diy kit, 3690 € for the assembled thing.
minus-squaretofubl@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·11 days agoI 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.
