The Lumenlab RoBLOKS Gantry Robot (RoGR) is the first RoBLOKS module, and is truly a technological revolution in the making. For the first time in history, high quality robotic manufacturing is available to the public at a price point that is affordable to nearly all. As a bonus, the RoBLOKS RoGR design is modular and easily adapted to many configurations...

Our free PDF builder guide will introduce you to the basic design. Then cruise over to the Project Gallery for ideas and inspiration. Detailed projects are outlined in the Advanced Member forum PLOGS. In depth build instructions are contained in our Pro Guide. Parts are available from the Lumenlab DIY Store-->

Lumenlab: Enabling Technologies

Lumenlab is a small company (less than 10 people) based out of Asheville, NC. The company was founded in 2003 and got its start building and supporting DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projectors. The Lumenlab forums have been a home for innovation and experimentation since the company's beginning. We are now expanding into new topics of interest to DIYers. Open-source robotics, simulation and VR, building and machining from your home garage using tools that were once only available to professional shops. Our goal is to educate and empower people with enabling technologies.

We have been featured in Popular Science, Make Magazine and Business 2.0. You can see more in our press section. We can be emailed through our web form. About Lumenlab-->
