Would really like to see some actual technical information on the arm. Payload, speed, accuracy, etc.

Absolutely! Payload is 1kg at extension, speed is 2 seconds between any two points, accuracy is sub-millimeter. It's got the capabilities of an industrial arm for the price of a laptop.

Power requirements? What's in it... steppers, servos?

"Guide the arm through a motion, which it replays flawlessly" -- ok, I assume it has servo motors with encoders.

The motors are in the base with timing belts extending to the joints? Backlash? Rigidity?

What's it made of? I assume it is not carbon fiber. :-)

We are about ready to make some demo videos! Check out our page main site http://carbon.ai and there's a video of one of our first arms - not a rendering.
