We've all seen them. We all covet them. Now, how do we get some ?
I was wondering if there's any interest in several potential builders pooling their funds for a group purchase of many RX-64s. We may be able to negotiate a better price if ordering fifty or so. That's only a few mechs worth. Robotis sells the devices in bulk for $210 each (for six). That doesn't include horns or cables. Think we could get them for $180-$190 each by ordering a lot ? Seems in the realm of possibility. Yes, we would all need to find a way to trust each other.
At that approximate price level, who is interested and for how many ? Of course, we should give Trossen the first bite at that apple in return for hosting us.
