    Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

    I like the suggestion, but if that tech did exist I think I'd take it a step further and just automate keeping the machine adjusted properly. If the system knew it was out of adjustment it would instruct the legs to put itself back in.

    The tech does exist. It is actually something I have already looked into in the past. It's just really expensive. You can replace the feet with micro linear actuators, then control that via your software. But you are looking at adding a HUGE chunk of $$ to each build.

    I did a test of this idea about 3 years ago. I spent about $600 on actuators, relays and a dev board.. But I was able to make a machine that could be adjusted remotely. I have since repurposed those actuators for other projects.. as I found it neat, but not really all that useful at home. Since my machines don't get move and never really go out of level.
