Tiny 3D printed robots make teleoperation cheap and simple

RoboPuppet is a way of remotely controlling a robot that makes so much sense, and is so obviously a good idea, that we’re honestly not sure why it’s taken this long to implement. It’s simply an interface where you 3D print a little tiny version of the robot you want to control, add some encoders, and then use the model to puppet the full-size version, which just mimics whatever it is you do. It’s adaptable, it’s cheap, and it lets even inexperienced users do some remarkable things.
