Base Scaffold System

The base scaffold is the contract between a customer's project and the workcell ecosystem: workcells are designed against the scaffold's interfaces (mechanical, electrical, alignment), not against individual projects.  ## How a customer interacts with the system -🔶 **FILL-IN (Drew):** the customer interaction model. Specifically:+Customers never need to handle a base scaffold directly — scaffolds live exclusively in Adom's Fort Worth facility, and all physical work is done by workcells or Adom's team. -- How does a customer's project get mounted onto a scaffold in the first place (who does it, what mounting features/pattern does the customer design against)?-- What does the customer see day-to-day — do they handle the scaffold directly, or only through workcells/software?-- Is there a design guide or envelope spec the customer must follow (max footprint, max height, max weight, keep-out zones)?-- Ordering/allocation: does a customer own a scaffold per project, lease it, or is it pooled?-- What happens at end of project — teardown, refurbishment, return?+### Project assembly++A project is mounted onto its base scaffold by the **Molecule Workcell**: robotic pincers pick up each molecule by its corner machine pins and insert it into the base scaffold's contacts. The scaffold then moves to the **Wire Bending Workcell**, where wires are bent and inserted — also by robotic pincers — to establish all of the project's electrical connections.++### Design envelope++- Workspace: **576 mm × 576 mm** (X × Y), with large contacts evenly distributed at **32 mm spacing** center-to-center.+- Maximum project height: **200 mm** in Z (current).+- Larger workspaces are available upon request.++### Subscription and allocation++Customers subscribe to Adom's Workcell service for prototyping their electrical projects. Base scaffolds are an amenity provided for active project development within the terms of that subscription.++### End of project++All project files are saved to our wiki ([wiki.adom.inc](https://wiki.adom.inc) — Adom's GitHub of electronics for the AI age). When active development is complete, customers choose either to:++- **Tear down** — wires are disposed of, molecules move to storage for future use, and the base scaffold is prepared for its next project; or+- **Keep the project intact** on its base scaffold and move the entire system into storage at our facility.  ## How the system interacts with workcells and the factory -🔶 **FILL-IN (Drew):** the factory integration story. Specifically:+Movement of a base scaffold from one workcell to another is handled autonomously by AMRs or, in some cases, by a skilled member of the Adom team.++🔶 **FILL-IN (Drew):** the rest of the factory integration story. Specifically:  - Insertion/extraction: how a scaffold enters and leaves a workcell (rails, guides, actuated pull-in?), and whether that is automated or manual.-- Transport between workcells: what moves a scaffold around the factory (AMR, cart, conveyor, human)? - Identity and tracking: how the factory knows which scaffold (and which project) is where — barcode, RFID, electronic ID via the control panel? - Handshake: what a workcell does on arrival (alignment check, electrical connect, project verification) before it starts work. - Scale: how many workcells a typical project visits, and typical dwell/transit expectations.@@ -32,11 +48,11 @@ The base scaffold is the contract between a customer's project and the workcell  ### Panels -Panels provide the scaffold's electrical contact interface, with mechanical connection and electrical isolation between the two.+Panels provide the scaffold's electrical contact interface, with mechanical connection and electrical isolation between the two.
