Thank you all for your continued support, follows, and likes.

In the last few months I've found some students from the University of British Columbia MechEng program who have taken my ideas and are running with them. Together we're building a prototype 6DOF arm that I hope will be ready in a few weeks.

Meanwhile, I see that other people like my ideas and are running with it. Check this out:

That would be me if I could go faster! Should I have worked in secret and filed patents? I don't have the experience to know how I could have done it better, and that I don't know how to get that experience makes me bad-crazy. I really need help.
