      Valetudo, though an absolutely amazing software, is no the replacement I was meaning. I meant we need a fully open source robot, from software to hardware, and that can be adapted. Of course there’s always blobs which are not open source, but that’s the case already for many things

        Absolutely, but that only happens once someone starts a project and gets contributors. Be the change you want to see.
