A Modest Proposal: a Delta Robot 3D printer
In 2011 I proposed a Delta Robot 3D printer.
In 2012 my friend Johan created the Rostock 3D printer. He even demo’d it for the first time at my Seattle Maker Fair table.
What I’m saying is good things happen if you watch this channel.

Modular robot clusters
Building robots can be a lot of work. One way to reduce the work is to use the same part many times.
These researchers present a snake robot made from identical modular components arranged in a daisy chain.
One could argue these are modular robots working together.
Self-assembling would be nice.
