What do I mean by "robot lab"? I'm talking about books and knowledge I've collected. There is hardware and software to acquire. There are 'special' tools you should have. There are two parts of an efficient small lab. Facilities and the robot lab part. If you plan on being secluded I recommend to skip the robot part first. You will need plenty of coffee and cryogenic meals. Then use the extra to get a few cheap books. I believe my private lab(the writer of this blog) is nearly complete. That's why I choose to write it.
