The performance factor vs. torque vs. DOFs is the most silly thing as a licensed mechanical engineer I have ever seen. And I was around for Kony 2012.

the cost-effectiveness/performance factor benchmark is interesting, but it feels slightly misleading - I just don't see how "average peak torque of all actuated DoFs, normalized by the robot's size" is related to measuring "accessibility and customizability" of the robot.

Very cool! Open source robotics is something I always imagined to be a part of the future. Hope the idea catches on.
