[Dprglist] Fwd: [parts] Cheap robotics platform

Wed Dec 15 15:00:33 PST 2021

Well, some of y'all are proud owners of used Pioneer 3-AT robots of unknown
functionality and completeness. I paid a fair bit more than planned, but
I'll honor the $200 each from David, Ezra and Chris. Though that's a
pickup-in-Dallas price. There really isn't an option to separately ship
from Nevada. So if you're far from Dallas you'll have to arrange further
shipping of the individual robot. If you don't want that, then I'll look
for other buyers at a higher price.

Lemme know,

Karim
ps. will update when I find out the arrival time.
