Close call. myCobot 280 and MAV trade wins across the matrix.
Readiness, uptime, navigation & connectivity
Price accessibility and ROI clarity
Payload, speed, runtime & labor replacement
Environment fit, footprint & long-term upside
Robotics curricula: Tabletop demonstrations of 6-axis kinematics and ROS path planning without PC requirement (Pi version).
Automotive parts supply loop in restricted-aisle assembly plants (400+ parts/shift).
If immediate deployment is the priority, choose myCobot 280. If the goal is to be ready when MAV's capabilities mature, track it.
