Methods of Acquiring a Mote

Mote uses a custom circuit board that must be manufactured and assembled at a factory. While PCBA has become remarkably affordable in recent years, setup fees make the cost per unit high for low scale runs (1 - 10 units).

If you would like to order a small number of robots please take a look on the issue tracker and see if a group buy is being coordinated. If you don’t see a group buy posted, reach out to a member of the Mote team and we can help you start one.

If you would like to build many Motes you can start your own manufacturing run. Checkout Ordering Circuit Boards for a step by step guide on the process. It’s much easier than it sounds.

All other (non-3D printed) parts are commercially available through standard channels. See the Bill of Materials page for details.

The rest of the robot is 3D printed. The 3D Printed Parts page provides guidance for producing these parts.
