Discussion
- So it seems as of now it is in a bit of a grey area / Well Documented Closed Source Work?
- Is it worth shooting them an email, maybe User: Marcin if you have the time?
- Could also push for Policy of Open Sourcing Older Versions since that is easier for some to commit to do

Genealogy
- Quote from the Websites Home Page:
- "The AR2 robot was the initial release of this robot and is the open loop version, The AR4 is the latest generation and is closed loop with encoders and compatible with RoboDK software."
- No Version AR1 (or was that all internal development summarized as v1 ?)
- Current Version is the AR4 Robot Arm
AR4 Robot Arm
- 6DOF
- Optional 7th Axis Linear Motion Rail
