Instead of designing individual machined components. We work on simplifying the entire machine to remove as many moving parts as possible. Setting limitation on the movement of joints, and complexity of mechanisms.

In this way we can focus on building a prototype cohesive unit without having access to complex machined parts or computer vision based predictive movement systems.

We are coming up with a design guide so that everyone who is taking part can use the some uniform structure and information. I would like to share that with you.

10 Bullets of WaiEye 

1. The T-Pose is the only pose. All design is described relative to it.

2. The front of the body faces negative Y. This way all discussion about positioning is uniform and concise.

3. Details about rotation and position is given relative to the T-Pose.

4. Moving parts are the enemy. Target the enemy.

5. Minimizing space is the second highest priority.

6. You can sacrifice space to reduce the number of parts, but only to reduce the number of parts.

7. Don't focus on small parts or complex mechanisms. If they become difficult, move on to something else.

8. Focus on the location of elements. Elements are modular units.

9. Overestimate containment boundaries. Underestimate limits.

10. It must be symmetrical across the Y Plane.

We are focusing on the broader "What will we put where?", "How much space do we have to work with?", and "Does the square cube law really matter as much as we think it does?" questions.

Still much work needs to be done.
