Re: [DIYbio] Opentrons OT-2 release

Antha removes the vendor "lock-in" that you are talking about and allows for cross-platform workflows (which becomes useful when you are working in a DNA foundry environment). And when you already have a $30 000 robot it's difficult to justify to your PI to buy a $10 000 one... especially when that robot is already fully equipped with all of the accessories.

I completely agree though that the opentrons is great for every day work in the lab and its programmability makes it very attractive.

What makes it easier to justify?  After Koeng's email on how wonderful programmability without vendor lock-in is, I don't get you.
