Safety and Legal
This is a prototype, it won't always work. Sometimes when moving fast the nema 17 motors in pilot version anchors will miss steps, and the gripper will swing down suddenly, before reeling itself back up. We are doing everything we can to prevent this in the next anchor hardware revision. But for now, please be aware of this risk and always keep the kill switch at hand.
The user assumes full responsibility for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from the installation or use of the hardware.
