Editor's notes
Mass 860 g and ±0.5 mm are from the Pi version spec page; the page calls ±0.5 mm "positioning accuracy" rather than repeatability. Elephant markets it as "collaborative" but no ISO 10218/TS 15066 rating is claimed, so collaborative is omitted. ROS version on the spec page is ROS1; ROS 2 not confirmed.
