Hardware
The physical bodies of the 01.
Decisions to be made
1. Should we just buy pre-made hardware?
Some bodies— like the 01 Light without a screen and with a camera, and the 01 Heavy as a screenless tape-recorder with a camera and a button on the side— do not exist. So perhaps we should make CAD files and build them.
Other bodies we've floated already exist as Android phones (isn't the Rabbit R1 basically an Android phone?) smartwatches, laptops, and cyberdecks (below).
I think we should decide by 1) estimating how long custom hardware would take, and 2) weighing it against how memorable of an impression the 01 would make if it did/did't have custom hardware. Holding something unique is a big part of this. But we might accomplish that by using some of the more bizarre looking hardware below.
Assembly-required OSS hardware
- The Raspberry Pi Recovery kit by Jay Doscher. "A MOBILE TERMINAL FOR THE END OF THE WORLD ". I bet we could reach out to him and have him send some tbh.
Ready to buy, OSS hardware
Ready to buy, non-OSS hardware
Can we modify the OS on these things? Some are OEM, which I think means we can contact the manufacturer and ask for changes.
