Drawn to scale

The robots side by side at their true relative size, as their source models are posed.

5 cmTurtleBot3171 mm tallAndino116 mm tall5 cmTurtleBot3171 mm tallAndino116 mm tall
Specimen renders from each project's source files, scaled so a meter is the same length for every robot (measured at each model's center: the renders are perspective views, so the scale is exact there). Heights are the models as posed in their sources. Not drawn: Linorobot2 (the render is a simplified subset of the robot).

Side by side

Every figure is read from each robot's record, with its source; a cost keeps the currency the source states and its basis.
