If you're going to build a robot arm just be careful what you do with it!

I don't think you can use this with a Mac, can you? I says it is controlled using a PC specifically, no mention of Mac control.

Gonna keep an eye on this hubby would love it, and we have recently got a maplins store, so I can collect. I'll see if it goes down in price closer to Christmas.
