Cartesian robot with vertical T-Bot drive configuration

This is a custom designed cartesian robot destined for a liquid handling application. It's built around our LC40 family of belt driven linear stages (see www.zaber.com/...) and uses what's known as a T-Bot configuration for the Z axis to avoid the weight and wiring nightmare of having to raise and lower the Z-axis motor. The configuration we implemented is a little different from typical T-Bots you may see where the belt is anchored to the vertical column and there is a motor on either side of the horizontal column. Keeping all the motors on one side simplifies the wiring. Enjoy.
