Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 5)

Basecase is a browser/desktop playground for designing buildable robotics, letting users sketch parts and assemblies with an optional AI agent (via Claude Code) to add parts from links. It targets hobbyist and educational robotics with a visual design workflow, though it's early-stage with minimal docs and a Windows/Mac-only local build.

Target audience: robotics hobbyists, educators, and mechanical/embedded engineers prototyping physical builds
