How to only buy AR3 hardware materials & setup to run custom Python code?
Hi Chris & everyone,
Great project & community you have here. My background is a designer & software engineer so very excited to build AR3 with a friend & lift 2kg objects with computer vision!
Question 1:
I was looking at https://anninrobotics.com/robot-kit (https://anninrobotics.com/robot-kits) but confused how I can buy the parts for AR3 only.
It seems like I can buy the
AR2 & AR3 Aluminum Parts Kit Combo for $839
AR3 Stepper Motor, Driver, Power Supply and Bracket for $439.90
Total = $1278.90
Is it possible for me to order the AR3 Aluminum Parts kit only so the total is $439.90 + ~$839/2 ? If the shipping is from China or Germany do you have the average ship time to Texas?
Question 2:
I have a custom computer vision algorithm I would like to use with the AR3 for recognizing objects & manipulating them like stacking bricks for a hot tub, or organizing a messy desk.
I was looking at the code ARCS.py & see a lot of python functions.
My goal is I would love to be able to write python code like:
while cameraOn:
currentCameraRGBView = getCameraView()
# process the camera view to create an action or new position the robot arm should be in
# where joint1Position is a number between 0 & 360 for how much it's rotated or something like this
nextArmPosition = [joint1Position, joint2Position, j3, j4, j5, j6]
moveArm(nextArmPosition)
Has anyone done anything like this successfully or interested in doing something like this?

Shipping time for the motors/drivers for me in TN took aprox. 2 weeks and $100 shipping - not happy about that.
