I am not sure whether this is a actually feature of this font. Some ligatures, like => are only active in comments. It works both in Sublime Text and QtCreator: https://imgur.com/nWsZieo
The total cost for one robot was well below 1k. The servos are $25 each (Turnigy 306G if remember correctly), all connecting parts are 3d printed, the electronics and batteries are about $50, and you could add a raspberry pi for $50. So in total <$500, depending on number of DOFs.
Of course, these servos don't have the same torque as Dynamixles, for example. But they are lighter!
