RE: Boston Dynamics' Spot robot being used on the frontline in hospitals

Wow ! Open Source !!!!!!

I got way over excited, closed my eyes, repeated my wish over and over, while clicking together my ruby slippers. (I wish for a Spot chassis.)

The open source files are for spot's medicinal electronic backpack - really really cool, however, the user still needs Spot's Boston Dynamic's robot chassis to build one.

I was hoping the 3D models included Spot's robot chassis - to print a smaller version for demo and teaching classes by my robot club.

A Spot replicant would be so cool to demo at community STEM exhibits, teaching coding classes at the library using a real life model, take to schools, robot celebrations, raspberry pi jams, arduino day, etc...

The Boston Dynamics chassis design is unique and very recognizable.

[mention:b85bafb1d1a14cd0b49feeaee407e32d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] - if you know of someone at Boston Dynamics that needs to get rid of a free service unit Spot chassis, please send them my way :-)

Or if Spot's chassis is available for open source 3D printing, ........there would be alot of creative people making an army of Spot's with all kinds of Arduino & Raspberry Pi applications on them.

Can you envision a Spot looking and sniffing the yard for dog poo pickup ? Searching a garden for weeds and pests ? A robot watchdog ? or walking a human ?
