Why not build the CNC router? It's a surprisingly simple machine, you could build one of any size yourself. There's even open source firmware and designs around. Bonus points for making it double as a laser etcher/cutter :D

Yes, there is nothing dumber than a robot that doesn't know what it is doing. It is merely following a preprogrammed sequence of steps hoping nothing goes wrong.


Well, yeah, the thinking is left to you and the software.


I absolutely would if I had both more time and experience with some of the skills involved. It would take me forever to do it myself.
