This is $16k vs Double Robotics' $2k sleeker system. Why such a huge difference?
Seems like the display/camera module in the Beam is propietary, whereas DR is basically an iPad dock on wheels. Beam has a charger stand system too whereas DR needs to be plugged into the wall (by someone on location) Whether that justifies the price diff I can't say.
Sheldon?
