My design is very similar to a robot arm used for Car Making / painting, except very light in comparison. I did come across one years ago, but they are very complex to program for (so many axis of movement) and are designed very heavily.
I do already know the number of axis I need, dependant on the design what I don't know is the size of the motors and type (stepper or servo) and how to connect to the arm (belt, direct etc) and if they need to be geared etc.
There are so many variables it's hard to know where to start!
My idea is to get a design, and iterate it from there till I hopefully get something that works!
