This week in the Orionrobots lab, we've been trying to improve the output of the 3D printer. I've been using it for robot brackets and simple shapes, but I'd like to do a little more with it. https://lnkd.in/eVjh_YtF

People have suggested my book robots are a little expensive. I've thought carefully about this. https://lnkd.in/e3zitE_K
Are my robot recommendations expensive?

What would we do with a Raspberry Pi 5? Build a robot of course. With the two ports, it could have sophisticated stereoscopic vision. With the PCIe port, a GPU could be used to help process that, or Monte Carlo localisation, or ML data. The Pi 5 looks like it will need a larger power supply, maybe a 30w plus supply so bigger power banks.
