That's so cool. Yeah I've been thinking a great design strategy would be to build exclusively out of commonly accessible parts. Like, even repurpouse car parts if they're more accessible, or use arduinos as the microcontrollers.

The thing about, say, a washing machine is there's not a ton else that has a hefty spider/shaft/tub combo like that. The forces involved in spinning a few kilos of clothes isn't trivial. I've been harbouring thoughts of open source appliances for a while.

What I kind of feel might be viable are modular, generic controller boards for dryers/washing machines/dish washers.
