Cleaning up some of the 3D designs and bringing them up to speed with the machine we actually built. We opted to go with a far more heavy duty frame than we originally planned, cost increase was minimal. As compared to our previous plan for the bed, this new bed can be adjusted up and down very easily, which came in handy as we fine tuned for the position and travel of our head unit. Attached are shots of both with and without the bed. On the unit we built we bolted aluminum guides onto the bed in order to easily put parts and board into the same place again and again. You'll see those details in the upcoming videos.

Another note (spoiler) we were able to actually do our first pick and place operations! More to follow.
