SO-101 robot arm

A robot arm that comes apart piece by piece and goes back together, screw by screw.

We started from the real CAD file of the arm, two hundred and fifty nine pieces between motors, screws and shells. Each part comes off along its own axis and goes back to its place, and at the end every screw is where it belongs.

This is the work a company needs when it sells something that has to be assembled, for the manual, the shop page and customer support. Sixteen seconds in widescreen.
