Space

Make sure you have sufficient space to build this. Your main work area will need to be about 1m squared, with an area to keep the built sub-assemblies and pre-bagged fixings.

Time (est)

We will try and give an estimate of how long each sub-section should take. The whole build should take you about 4 years to complete.....

Safety & any applicable warnings

Don't touch the grown wire.. If it looks hot, it probably is. If you don't know what your doing, ask for assistance. Don't work for more than 10 hours at a time... you'll probably die.
