I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cost. I read somewhere they spent around $150,000 to create this. I thought that was extremely costly, but I don't know anything about this kind of stuff, so I'd like to see what you guys think.



Seems really costly; you can buy an KUKA industrial robot arm to use as a motion simulator for $50,000:
