I am build ing a 6axis robotic arm with deep machine learning. So my problem is 2 things so you know when your screwing fixing or building somthing and your at a vital moment but you don’t have the right tool so you have to get up and sacrifice the part of your project to get a tool now with this robot Jeff will grab it and give it to me.
