FAQ
Can it do real work?
At 250 g payload, no — it's an education, prototyping and algorithm-teaching arm. For light real tasks, step up to the myCobot 320 or a 1.5 kg-class arm like AgileX PiPER.
M5 or Pi version?
M5Stack version tethers to your PC and is simplest for classrooms; the Pi version runs standalone Linux onboard. Same arm, different brain — pick by your deployment.
