<pie_> so, laboratory automation anyone?
<mjgardes> i'm interested
* pie_ is looking at what kind of stuff is out there
<pie_> mostly biochem stuff is all ive seen so far
<pie_> of course what would be really cool is if you could build stuff like this at home :D
<Sync> you can
<Sync> you can just buy a robot and program it
* pie_ goes to #ghettocmos
<Sync> the point is, if you are going to build yourself such a kinematic it is going to be about as expensive as just buying one
<Sync> also those handline robots are quite cheap in the aftermarket
<Sync> ~~
<Sync> gah
<Sync> handling
<pie_> i suppose
<pie_> where does one find such aftermarket?
<Sync> ebay
<pie_> no suprise but still several grand
<pie_> well for the big ones
<Sync> you gotta be on the look out
<Sync> but sometimes you can get them for under 100 bux
<pie_> youre shitting me
<pie_> people talk about these ebay deals
<pie_> and what kind of stuff?
<pie_> of course i imagine its more than likely stuf on auction or with a minumum win price now that thats a thing :/
<Sync> no, we bought our sr60 for I think 99€
<pie_> and then it skyrockets
<pie_> huh
<pie_> .
<pie_> i guess ill have to believe you then
<pie_> sr60?
<pie_> cool, i cant really tell from the pic what kind of robot that is though
<pie_> oh, but theres the brand name so now i canjust google it
<pie_> with controller stuff and everything?
<Sync> it is your regular scara roboter
<pie_> thats quite a deal
<Sync> it was okay
<Sync> yeah the control came with it, but it is rubbish
<pie_> all the stuff im finding is this really heavy duty manufacturing stuff
<pie_> i suppose thats to be expected
pie_ has quit [Quit: pie_]
<mjgardes> ebay is where people put stuff they bought at a surplus auction marked up by at least 500%
<mjgardes> So if you want affordable second-hand robots, you have to be prepared to hand credit card info to some sketchy-looking auction sites
