The specifications.
Hardware, build and software on one sheet. Every fact links to where we found it.
T.A.R.A. is an industrial robotic arm with STL files for all robot parts. The repository describes printing the parts in PLA or ABS and assembling servo-driven hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder and base joints, with Arduino control code.

03 / Know before you build
Can you sell it?
Check firstCheck before commercial use
No license was found for the design files, so no reuse rights are granted. Ask the maker before building anything to sell.
