Modular Robotics’ production of Cubelets ramps up
“We’ve made a lot of changes to our production line recently and each machine automates a task that we used to do by hand. Now we get vastly quicker and better results and can make thousands more Cubelets per week than before.”
John Payne‘s insight:
Boulder may not have all the fun stuff in robotics, but it certainly has a high concentration. Besides Modular Robotics, there’s also Sphero (Orbotix) and SparkFun. I guess the lesson is that if you want to do robotics in Boulder, make it something fun.
