Is this a paid preorder?
No. This is a free purchase-interest list. If selected, you’ll receive a purchase invitation with the final details. You decide whether to proceed then.
What comes with the DIY edition?
The digital package includes 3D-printable CAD files, build instructions, controller code and URDF files. Physical parts, electronics, printing and assembly are not included.
Is the arm included with the $900 rover?
No. The rover is $900 USD. The rover with a 5-DOF arm is $1,600 USD at early-access pricing.
Are these images of the final robot?
The gallery contains original CAD images of an earlier Robi revision. The studio hero is an AI-generated visualisation based on that design. The current robot has minor changes; final appearance and specifications will be shared before purchase.
