Launch HN: Vassar Robotics (YC P25) – $219 robot arm that learns new skills
Summary
Vassar Robotics launched a $219 desktop robot-arm kit based on the LeRobot SO-101 with sturdier printed parts and two integrated 480p cameras. The company says the kit adds intelligence and supports teaching new skills through teleoperation. It also plans to release an MIT-licensed mechanical design and an MCP server that exposes the local robot policy to agentic LLMs. The first production batch sold out quickly, and the company is preparing additional batches with defined shipping dates.
