What do you all think? I have the files to get the 3d parts printed so wondering what everyone thinks.

21 Dynamixels MX-28 = $4,746
2 Dynamixels MX-64 = $612
2 Dynamixels AX-12 = $90
That's $5,448 just in servos. You will notice these research projects use Dynamixel smart servos that have serial communication, not supported by the ARC. Hobby servos are OK for hobbyists but not for serious researchers and universities. I wish DJ would add support for the Dynamixel actuators. I think it would be an excellent selling feature for buying the ez-b.
At least they are giving the plans away for free.
