Curious what kind of hardware people are using with beam-bots - if you’re building something with it, or thinking about building something with it, please let us know!
For those who haven’t heard of it it’s a new framework for building cool robotics applications in Elixir!

I’m also interested in how
beam-botswork with hardware. Is there any budget-friendly hardware I can try? I’d love to give it a shot!Damirados
I have started with GitHub - TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100: Standard Open Arm 100 · GitHub
You can get kit for 2 arms relatively cheap on seedstudio
Even if you don’t plan on having leader-follower arm setup it is just a bunch of servos that you can reuse in projects later on.
Main projects I am planning to build are robot arm camera rig and a drone airport; an automated platform that changes drone batteries when it lands on it and has directional antennas pointed at the drone pointed at all time.

Good news! We’ll be making the Goatmire workshop balance bots available for sale. Price to be confirmed, but the current estimate is about right.

I have a bunch of old Arduino stuff lying around. Can I use that for this?
