Yeap, it is on a academic fablab at our university (university of são paulo).
This started as a project for a class last semester but the fun led the project beyond that. We were supposed to improve the OpenTrons design in some way, but again the fun led us more "far" - "far" from the original idea, haha.
This is exactly what we were thinking on space aptimization, Yuriy.
Researchers would also organize their experiment routines whitin the levels - imagining that the space of a single level is enough for each different routine.
And: wow! You have so many nice ideas, Yuriy! A leaning bookshelf! It would "kill" the appearance of a guillotine that our bot have right now (ha!).
The ergo centric is beautiful, it kinda remembered me of this awesome commercial bot (the "andrew" robot"); but I don't now if it will be light and slim (to easily pass through the levels), we want a pipette car really light and tight. This is something to research about.
We choosed the belt instedad a endless screw (this is how we call a threaded pole here on the south :p) because we thought it would be a faster design, as Tom guessed.
If we solve the shiffting problem, things might get more functional. I was looking the structure yesterday and find that the conector of the z and y axis could be the guilty for the displacement. With higher mechanical tensions, the PLA 3D printed pieces allows a flexibility on the connection that we cannot have.
The telescopic lift is another wonderful idea to implement the x axis. It will be something probably harder to do (we were planning to hack a CD driver) but funnier. You gave me another thing to evaluate.
I found some fancy pictures of the gilloti... ops, pipetting bot, for better showing the structure.

How about a telescoping lift design?
