A visual configurator for comparing open and DIY robot platforms, their components, power systems, and estimated AUD bills of materials.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The workshop organizes robots as interchangeable physical systems rather than treating them as opaque product cards. Its examples span a cart-based platform, a 45×45 cm lift-equipped base, a factory biped, and a printable duck with public STLs. The page also foregrounds electrical constraints, including 12 V, 24 V, and 7.4 V systems, while tying component choices to an AUD bill of materials and source links.
