The way those classic practical props hold up against modern builds is always fascinating to see. Has anyone else here ever attempted building a full-scale movie prop, or is this the first one you've come across?https://community.element14.com/technologies/robotics/w/quiz/72080/test-your-sensor-knowledge-in-our-ams-osram-next-gen-robotics-quizFri, 31 Jul 2026 13:33:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:fb3ae62e-ad2f-47ab-a56b-e6064f04a4f9OwainMHow would you control the next generation of robots?
