I build robots and other stuff. CTO / co-founder @pipedream_labs

I don’t think we’ve shared any rail install publicly, but it’s satisfying to watch. The rail isn’t affixed to the pipe and each joint has a tiny amount of allowable play. This lets it conform to the geometry of installed pipe all on its own. Install, maintenance, and replacements are a breeze. We spent a long time trying to make our system work without rails in the pipe. The robots could run just fine, but junctions, handoffs, and above ground infrastructure was tricky when your robot relies on a pipe to move. Now it’s trivial for us to run robots outside of the pipe, make custom turns, and integrate hardware into the rail and portals. I’m super glad we went this direction, it’s a no brainer in hindsight but that’s how system optimization goes.

I couldn't find anything with instant quote for simple cables so I whipped this up last night. The base flow is there, but I could use some input on what connectors and cable options are worth adding. TBD if I will actually launch it, but I'm having fun building the platform
