With sub $2 stepper motors, you can build machines that can help you speed up your electronics prototyping and make it easier to go from a quantity of one to a quantity of one hundred. Get research, customer, and client feedback sooner. More speed means shorter dev cycles, meaning more iterations. Save time *and* money.

Believotron is funded in part by sales of synthesizers, but a majority of our funds come from pledges on Patreon and direct donations. Help us make robots easier to use and more useful to everyone by giving today.

We're looking for people who have the means to 3D print components and build our machines. Please participate on our forums if you're interested in building your own robotic microfactory.

We are looking for Partners to help develop solutions for industrial, medical, and consumer applications. Do you have repetitive task that is keeping your valuable workers from doing more thoughtwork?
We are looking for Sponsors to promote their products and services during our appearances and in our content
We are especially interested in Grants or Angel Donations. Please contact us if you would like to donate or set us up with an informational interview with someone who would. We have a very good pitch deck.
Independently, we feel the calling. We all remember the first time we fell in love with a sound machine and got lost in the twisty little passages, all alike. Hours would pass, grey matter would be throbbing with new connections. Neurons that fire together play together.
It's that feeling of wonder and discovery that draws us all to a lifestyle of synthesizers, gadget-boxen, and transcending electronics to provide the sublime.
Believotron is dedicated to designing open creations that delight. Not just Diet-Open with a handful of files released, but full assembly drawings, part-numbers, machine descriptions, and process documents. We think that the tools released last year are thousands of times more capable than tools released a decade ago and we would like to contribute to the accelerando.
Our senior engineer has been at it for 17 years. He's shipped well over a billion dollars of hardware: a garage door on a 747 for the NASA SOFIA project (Psst we found oxygen on Mars), Semiconductor Test Equipment (Your cell phone, your car, your toaster, your...), Electric Vehicle Battery and Fuel Cell test, and several start-ups in security, transportation, and communication. Daniel balances his obtuse creativity with a strong desire to create quality hardware and documentation and is looking forward to setting a new standard for open hardware reuse and interoperability.
Our network includes Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Actors, Writers, Artists, Chicago, SF, NY, Austin, Salt Lake, Belgium, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Taipei (Saved best food for last #NightMarket)
