Talk:Shopaid
- On the subject of screens there is a device called the "manga screen" it is fully open source both in hardware and software. It is around the dimensions of a phone screen, has either a 720p or a 1080p screen, and is multitouch capable. It also uses standard USB and HDMI, no weird connectors. It may be worth a look, and here are some links.

For this project specifically this could be used for input while the other USB display could be used for monitoring data such as the video recording.
-Also this could maybe be combined into a "robotic arm construction set" ; we would use two "robotic arm modules" for the shopaid, many more for an assembly line, so on and so forth.
