	The MIThril hardware platform is a combination of off-the-shelf components and custom engineered parts. As much as possible we have tried to use commercially available pieces while meeting our ergonomics, performance, and reliability constraints. In the cases where off-the-shelf parts are not suitable, we have designed special-purpose hardware. In order to make MIThril more widely available, we are working on document packages for this research hardware that will allow others to modify and extend our hardware design work. MIThril Construction and Assembly Most of our MIThril construction documentation is to be found on the Borglab wiki MIThril construction pages. If you have questions about what connects to what, or how to get something working, look there first.
