## What it is
An open-source 6-degree-of-freedom robot arm built with stepper motors, including CAD files and C++ control code. It is a hobbyist/DIY robotics project licensed under GPL-3.0.

## Use cases
- build a 6-axis robot arm from stepper motors
- learn robot arm kinematics and control
- 3D print and assemble a small robotic arm
- experiment with stepper motor based robotics
- educational robotics projects

## When to choose
- you want a low-cost DIY 6DoF robot arm with open CAD and code
- you are learning robotics with stepper motors

## When to avoid
- you need industrial precision, payload, or safety certification
- you need servo or closed-loop motor control out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: robotics, embedded
- domain: robotics, hardware
- platform: cpp, embedded, cross-platform
- tags: robot-arm, stepper-motors, 6dof, cad, open-source-hardware, automation
