It sounds awesome. I have concerns that it could be a time sink, though. If you’re working on it I’d love to follow along and join in from time to time, although I can’t commit to be a meaningful contributor.

we replaced the battery in the robot arm (behind the connectors in the base,
this battery is to preserve memory in the position encoders) and the battery in

be the only one who knows
