Number of downloads: 54For two years I've been working on a project I call "RoBLOKS". The principle is to build a system of modular robotic units that can be scaled or combined to perform nearly any function. The former-titled LLCNC machine was (ironically) being made to create the RoBLOKS pieces, yet I never considered it a part of the RoBLOKS system, until now that is! In building the machine, it came to embody the very things RoBLOKS is all about, and in a flash of inspiration, RoGR was born. RoGR stands for the "RoBLOKS Gantry Robot". Because RoGR is extremely adaptable, and since RoGR uses many of the same parts that are used throughout the entire RoBLOKS system, and because RoGR can be used to make more RoGRs, or more RoBLOKS, I think it is only fitting to give RoGR the designation of RoBLOKS Module #1. Read the RoBLOKS page. RoGR bearing kits are available RoGR Servos kits are available
