<p><strong>Details:</strong></p>
<p>We are building the extruded aluminium enclosure, integrating the electronics for the robots, end-effectors and safety system - this involves assembly, some wiring if you're used to wiring diagrams, and of course testing with the IO robot simulation plugin for GH.</p>
<p>We need assistance until the 19th December, and we appreciate anytime you have spare, even just a day.</p>
<p>If you know anyone else who would like to this opportunity, then please put us in touch.</p>
