If you are interested in the hottest tech trends today, automation and robotics certainly must be on your radar. But, until now, most robotic arms have been seriously overpriced, or aren’t accurate enough for detailed projects.

Dobot M1

Check what’s coming now.  Presently, already funded, the Dobot M1 Pro Robotic Arm for makers and for business is on Kickstarter with a campaign running through January 12. You can get the Dobot M1 and two toolheads of your choice for $1,599.00 USD.  By May of 2017, you could be up and running with a new hobby or business.

Toolheads available

Robotic arms are fun, but what makes them productive are the tools you can attach.  Look at this list of amazing toolheads available for 3D printing, laser engraving, soldering and more.
