I’ve seen dozens and dozens of open source robotic arm projects; probably because of my own addiction to mechanical automatons paired with my unending desire (despite a lack of need) for a robotic arm of my own.

This one caught my eye however as it has a particularly clever accessory method without the need to of a complex end effector tool changer. If they can route power/data control signals out to the accessories next I rather like the idea.

I wonder if perhaps a more direct approach should be utilized and the base end effector / finger gripper should be simply an accessory itself.
