Though not directly related, ideas like this will inevitibly lead to the mainstream robotics era. Even today, it is very hard to even 'get' the right components for your design. If this works, then the 'first entry' barrier to the field will be removed, and it will be easier for someone to work on the ZX or Apple II of the robots.
- vonmoltke 13y agoI think the real first entry barrier is parts for protoyping. Its not as severe, since you can make packaging compromises on brassboard prototypes, but some parts are simply unavailable because manufacturers won't sell them to distributors and insist on NDAs and business plans to even get samples. This service will help tremendously when it is time to jump from brassboard to final CCA. However, it is not feasible for most brassboard development because it requires redesigning and blue-wiring boards on the fly. The engineer working on the prototype needs parts on hand for this.
