Just saw a mention about the FolgerTech FT-5, [folgertech.com], on reddit and was wondering if this would be considered a CoreXY kit and if anyone had any more information on it?

NOT Corexy

X gantry carries the motor to position X.
Y axis -- appears like two motors (one for each Y guide rail)

Just belts looped around one drive pulley and one idler pulley for drives

Z Axis ----- Two leadscrews with a motor and belt on each
---------------- Four round guide rods
