BoardForge: Raspberry Pi Powered OSHW Pick and Place Machine #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi « adafruit industries blog

Amazing piece of hack-and-make from Drew Fustini and the Pumping Station One team presented at the SXSW Create show. It picks up components and assembles them onto a circuit board according to what the user has chosen to build.

The Raspberry Pi controls the motor, a camera and the GUI web interface written in Node.js.

They are aiming for a $2000 price point and the project will probably be funded via Kickstarter.

Head on over to the Adafruit site to view a Slashdot show-and-tell video.
