Meh… I’m sure some of you guys will like it, but I can’t say I’m impressed. Maybe if it didn’t look like a Portal style robot i’d be on board.
I’d prefer an AR-15 desk lamp made out of real parts any day over this perpetrator. Plus if you get bored of the AR-15 desk lamp you can always just use the rail on another AR build.
At the time of writing this the project has 206 backers with $53712 out of the $70000 goal raised. At first I was really surprised, but then I remembered the COWWADOOTY crowd. *facepalm*

Thoughts? Agree with me? Or are haters gonna hate?
Side note: I get a kick out of seeing the term “industrial design” used so frivolously nowadays. Good job description to drop to try and impress girls though I suppose. They’ll become wise to that and realize you’re just a standard nerd that knows his way around Solidworks by the end of date #1 though, and the joke will be on you. haha
