Mechanically this seems like something that could also be built out of lego (technic). Instead working with metal it seems like everything needs to be custom machined.
Is there a reason there aren't similar kits of metal components with regularly drilled holes and so on that can just be put together in whatever way one chooses?

- tlb 7y agoThere are some kits, like Actobotics. Generic structural parts are inherently heavier and less stiff than custom-designed ones, so they're not usually suitable for high speed projects like this one.
