Others have mentioned a group project.
Johnny 5 has beginner and more advancrd parts.
Thoughts? Too many parts?
The same posting shows a full- size, working, Johnny 5 if the above isn’t a big enough challenge.
Any other suggestions for a group project?
Something in the KISS category?
J5 has been a dream of mine! 
If you want a group project help us fix our broken wood lathe to convert for metal spinning.we need a new taller head for the spindle we have. We need to machine parts for a bearing seat on both sides.
Johnny 5 has been a dream of mine too! I really want a full-size one, but if we can make a Johnny 5 as a group project (each make our own), I’d totally be down for it. I’m actually a part of a couple of the Johnny 5 Facebook build groups. Working with other people would definitely motivate me to finally do this.
