[DIYbio] Robotic arm for feeding plate reader

Anyone ever purchased or re-built old robotic arms?  I've seen a few professionally built ones on ebay and a company donated some to a local college once a year ago but they disappeared.

I also came across this tonight, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3327968

Unsure if you need proprietary software to control them or if an old serial port and an arduino or RaspPi would work. 

Would like to be able to just leave stacks of 96 well plates and have it feed them into a plate reader, take readings, and put in the next one.  Simple for a human but a lot of sitting and clicking and it happens fast enough (1-2 minutes / read)  there isn't really enough time to do anything else in between reads. 

Thanks.
