I'm looking for something to perform some automations moving and aligning ~9x6 inch pieces of slate that weigh <2kg. Looking at things like the HIWONDER arms and want something with vision and such. Trying to determine the best value, but I'm mostly looking on Amazon because I personally need fast shipping for an internal hackathon we're doing next week.

What are some of the best robot arms and what type of chassis would you recommend? Best for the value? Best in class? Etc. (Also perhaps to make this a useful thread to others if I wasn't in a rush what would be the best?)

What capabilities are useful and which are over-hyped? Thanks HN! :)
