This 'DeltaBot' is the product of Keith Brown's final year electronics project at La Trobe University. It falls under the umbrella project called RepRap.
This repository serves as a place to store and track progress at a source level. Forcing software, hardware and designs into a single repository might not be the most practical use of git but it does allow me to easily share updates. Once the components come close to a stable release I will break this up into individual repos.

##Goals
- Cheap
- Modular
- CNC etching + 3D printing
- Produce alternative hardware, electonics and software. (Simply to learn)
- Automated Calibration
##Versions There are three variants being produced by this project:
- Large robot
- Small, slow but strong platform
- Small, fast robot
##Inspiration Although I have not forked any current designs, this project is still based upon exiting work. This project is primarily a derivative of the RepRap Kossel by jcrocholl Of course I have also been inspired by other insane delta robots:

And every other RepRap printer. But mostly The RepRap Project founder, Adrian Bowyer.
