What?

The ReMeCo Projects

The main project here:
RepRec project. (Replicating Recomposer) A class of pick-and-place robots that can assemble useful products including copies of themselves.

Overarching collection project:
ReMeCo Projects (Reuseable Mechanical Components) are a collection of related projects that grew out of or are related to the

Choose your area of interest:
★ (1/3) Future cog&gear style diamondoid molecular nanotechnology.
A far term target of atomically precise manufacturing.
This is the main focus of the projects here.
★ (2/3) DIY robotic home automation.
This is a secondary focus of the projects here.
★ (3/3) Automation in outer space …
★ (4/3) Bonus: As a construction kit toy

This is mostly for context and maybe some demonstration of principle educational 3D models.

Infos for Contributions

For providing productive critique/feedback/contributions please understand the following first:

Chatacter of these projects

The character of the here present projects is:
★ RMC/ExploratoryEngineering
★ GMT/Future backward development
rather than present forward development,
which is happening elsewhere.

★ Consider these notes as active development working notes ...
– Messy, highly incomplete, littered with stubs ...
★ Walls of text and endless link-lists should be avoided though.
– Preserve readability

Fundamental design choices

Please understand them and abide them.
★ deliberate non usage of friction
★ narrow range of part sizes
★ extensive use of tensioning, form-closure, self-centering
