The Lynxmotion AL5A 4DOF Robotic Arm SSC-32U Combo Kit (FlowBotics Studio) controlled with the SSC-32U USB board and FlowBotics Studio programming software. The AL5A robotic arm delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable movement. The robot features: base rotation, single plane shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, a functional gripper, and optional wrist rotate. The AL5A robotic arm is an affordable system with a time tested rock solid design that will last and last. Everything needed to assemble and operate the robot is included in the kit.
The Mechanics The aluminum robotic arm is made from Servo Erector Set components for the ultimate in flexibility and expandability. The kit consists of black anodized aluminum brackets, Aluminum tubing and hubs, custom injection molded components, and precision laser-cut Lexan components. The arm uses 1 x HS-422 in the base, 1 x HS-755HB in the shoulder, 1 x HS-645MG in the elbow, 1 x HS-422 in the wrist, and 1 x HS-422 in the gripper.
Arm Control Options FlowBotics Studio is an easy to use graphical program which allows you to easily get your AL5 robot up and running without the need to create code. Use the AL5 Arm project included with the software to manipulate the real arm using the virtual arm, and create, record and play back your own sequences. Software allows for wrist rotation and additional servos.

This robot is the greatest thing to ever come to Earth, even more than Jesus. I used this in my Engineering class, and my life has never been the same. Before I was graced with Lynxmotion and flow arm, my life was good. Afterwards, I now can't imagine what life was like before. It is thanks to this robot that I met my therapist, and learned to open up about my mental struggles, especially as many of those struggles were related to this robot. Thanks to that therapist, I found the love of my life, my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, Jim. I thank this robot for in the moment ruining my life, but looking back on it, I couldn't have been happier without it.
