Giving away lots of cool robocars [Update: all taken!]
I’m clearing out my workshop and giving away a bunch of wheeled robots, all in good condition, that I won’t have time to use. These are free to a good home, but you must be willing to pick them up in the San Francisco Bay Area, either in East Bay or Palo Alto. DM me on Twitter/X or LinkedIn if you’d like something, and I’ll update the post as they go to show what’s still available.
Sadly, this is only about 30% of my collection. I may have a bit of a robot car addiction.
