A stiff gantry in a cube of reusable beams? Oh, almost anything, except with what software?

The frame looks a little too strong and too expensive for light duty liquid handling.
I envision liquid handling by the gantry "hand" to be just tens of milliliters
moving at a time. If you want to move 1 liter beakers a side conveyor would be the thing.

The cubespawn project is a lone guy working on similar frameworks and
he's percolating along to the motor control level about now -- you'd
maybe benefit talking with him. I help him with design review and idea generating some.

ROS and smoothie are the code bases he is planning on working from, how about you?
