Here's the Tormach robot on Shane Wighton's YouTube channel.

Happy Birthday Machinekit!
I haven't contributed much to Machinekit over the last year, but I've been
working with a few other folks here in the community to integrate it into
Tormach's new ZA6 robot, now in beta testing. It has been gratifying to see
how versatile Machinekit is and how easily it has integrated with ROS to play
out trajectories. I hope to have more related news to tell the community soon.

Happy sixth birthday, Machinekit!
Over the last year, the spun-out HAL repo has enjoyed major
improvements from over a dozen contributors in several areas. The HM2
drivers and several HAL comps have new features, HAL now supports the
`arm64` architecture, Machinetalk sports a new OpenCV-based video
server, and many changes went into the build, packaging and CI
infrastructure to support the HAL/CNC repo split. And after years of
wishing for it, I'm happy to see a new CMake build system ready to be
merged.
Along with progress, the year had its challenges, too. The CI service
was suddenly and unexpectedly dismantled, leaving the project without
continuously updated packages; fortunately, an effort to resolve it is
underway.
Most saddening, a few, highly esteemed contributors have gone on
hiatus. I appreciate everything they've done, and only hope to see
them more in the future, even if only on occasion.
I'm just grateful to all of you keeping the project going on a daily
basis. Thank you for submitting all your PRs on GitHub, and thank you
for merging them. Thank you for your chatter on the mailing list.
Thanks to you new, enthusiastic contributors joining the community. I
look forward to collaborating with you over a new CI system and
porting LinuxCNC-EMC to run on Machinekit-HAL over the next year, and
over the next year, I'm looking forward to seeing what other advances
you all bring in.
