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://www.anninrobotics.com/robot-kit 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?
