I love stuff like this. Wish I had the time to build one and a purpose to make use of it.

[oomlout] has released this Opensource robotic arm. It is 5 axis, using cheap hobby servos. The total cost, including having it cut at thingaiverse.com is roughly $150. The plans include all the pieces, down to the servo controller. This means that you'll have to supply your own microcontroller and programming. They do state "We can guarantee it is loads of fun to play with, and we think potentially very useful for more serious pursuits." and we would like to test that guarantee. We've been keeping an eye out for this ever since the servo switch assemblies.
