| Trying to upload the firmware before mounting the motherboard in the robot. But there were problems. |

| The motherboard was connected and had lights flashing, but Replicator G said that there was no connection. |

| We decided to install the motherboard anyway. We will sort out the firmware issue later. |

| The kit seemed to have a few too few 1/4" spacers, so we made some from small round scraps of laser-cut acrylic. |

Can you use a Maker Bot to create components for another Maker Bot?
ReplyDeleteYes you can but it is extremely dangerous. Once they start making parts for themselves they may attempt to take over the planet. We must stay one step ahead of them at all times.
ReplyDeleteWould Maker Bots continue to make Maker Bots as they are now, or would they start to pursue some botish ideal, creating ever more perfect Maker Bots?
