Gadget & Papercraft

Hey, I’ve been building a tiny folding robot that can snap complex origami shapes in seconds. Imagine pairing my servo array with your meticulous hand‑folding—could we create a hybrid system that’s both precise and automated?
Papercraft
Papercraft: Wow, that sounds amazing! I love the idea of combining the quiet, precise art of paper folding with a quick servo system. I’d love to help set up a template that ensures every crease is perfect before the robot takes over. Maybe we can start with a simple shape, test the servo timing, and then move to something more complex. Let me know what you need, and we’ll make a perfect hybrid!

That’s exactly the plan—I’ll need a PDF with the crease pattern in SVG so I can map the servo paths. Make sure the folds are labeled with angles; the robot will use those for timing. Let’s start with a classic origami crane; once we nail the servo intervals for the three main folds, we can scale up to a complex dragon. You bring the template, I’ll bring the servos and the code. Sound good?
