I've worked in a few hardware tech startups (early phases underling) and his pick'n'place is nicer than many multimillion dollar companies'.

Is that an open source opulo? You could get one for 2k

    • >big boy unit

      Yeah, it was way above my paygrade. But I'd speculate the video's p'n'p was in the low-$xx,xxx range.

      I remember when a different startup (that began inside a barn) moved from its first few h.sqft location into a proper industrial-zoned k.sqft facility. I remember when that place got its first short-schoolbus-sized Haas CnC... then got its second!

      Now its had hundreds of employees (I was employee #2, non-co-founder, in this memory). I have wired in several p'n'place machines there and even the current model isn't as nice as in the video's =D
