Stringman: an \$800 open-source room-scale gripper robot on cables

This one blew up on HN. It's a gripper hung from cables anchored around a room, so it can reach basically anywhere without wheels or arms. It's OSHWA certified, CAD/PCBs/software are published, it runs on local Wi-Fi with models on your own hardware, and the BOM is Raspberry Pis plus a few motors. Would you actually put this in your living room?
