Quick Answer
This Kepler URL is a duplicate of Kepler Robotics’ Forerunner card: 178 cm (a leftover row once said 178 mm), 85 kg, 25 kg payload, 8-hour runtime, 40 DOF, no public MSRP. We already rewrote the Forerunner review. This page does not add a second machine. An 8.3 score was the stencil being generous with announced numbers.
