>>mfw my local govt imposes an USD200 per person non-transferrable cap on imports if you're not a registered importer, and charges 120% taxes on that in the form of a duplicate compound 35% bullshit "exchange" tax and 21% VAT

we don't really have many options:

Option 1: buy some "gucci" brand that claims to be "original". 90%+ of it is made in China even though it claims to be made in US/Can/UK/Germany/etc
Option 2: Buy chinkshit from Amazon/Walmart/CustomShopSite. 100% made in china, Comes with 20%+ markup and domestic taxes. Shipping is quick but you end up paying for it. Sometimes the shipping costs as much or more than the item itself.
Option 3: Buy directly from china at (almost) factory prices. No taxes. No or minimal shipping cost. You can get fucked and it can take 2 months to arrive.

So pick your poison.

When reading through this description of the encoder for the arm, I recalled that humans have something more like a accelerometer or gyroscope. Might be the better way to do it. I'm quite a beginner with that stuff, so don't really know much yet.
