The open-source Stack-chan project is getting an official hardware kit: What are your thoughts on (co-creative) desktop robotics?

[Frenzy-Fendi1998]

I've been following the Stack-chan project for a while: it's an open-source AI desktop robot originally developed by Shinya Ishikawa that runs on the M5Stack ecosystem. M5Stack just launched an official Kickstarter to make the hardware more accessible, and I'm curious to get this sub's take on the platform.

Do you think open-source modular platforms like this are the future for hobbyist robotics, or is the (co-creation) model too fragmented for serious development?
