They have a TED Talk which is exciting to watch as well

I was fortunate enough to meet Marcin a number of years ago at a conference in Vienna. He was even then working on developing his Open Source Ecology ideas & hardware.

Yeah, I watched it later the night. Kept me up way to long. I'm still very excited about this!

Yep, it's part of the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) [1]. You can read the crash course [2] to get a better idea of our project, then see how you can get involved [3], or read a list of specific project needs [4].

All plans of our current and future machines can be used by anyone without restrictions.
