 * History of reprap
 * Incorporates Hardware and software elements common to traditional robotics
 * stepper motors
 * motor controllers
 * microprocessors
 * mechanical construction
 * feedback and control
 * testing and alignment
 * programming


 * Design may be continuously modified and refined
 * Strong support community (Daniel) You can find many great benefits and helpful resources at RepRap.org
 * Allows rapid prototyping of parts for other robotic projects and ability to basically replicate itself by making all necessary pieces to make a new copy.
 * Impressive potential (Video - TED talks)
