Now The bot can mill 3D surfaces in polystyrene. It's still a little course and will probably always be a bit imprecise since it's not bolted down. He's also still planning to convert it from standard 1/8inch bits to 3mm router bits....

Each foot is ball joint mounted to ease terrain adaptation . Only recently...

Though the original design called for a basic pen for drawing, the robot’s now equipped with a cutting tool able to mill three-dimensional surfaces into high density foam. It takes nearly [...]
