BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Read the small print.
It changes the picture.

  • Five degrees of freedom includes the gripper; this is not a five-axis articulated arm.
  • Confirm power supply, PC interface or OpenCR controller and mounting parts in the kit.
  • Match the ROS distribution and controller instructions to the supplied configuration.
  • Confirm the exact edition, current destination availability and delivered price with the seller. A listed product is not a live-stock guarantee.
