I really really hope this company can keep going & triumph.

It doesn't feel like there s anyone doing such broadscale industrial automation, and that ability to have robots tirelessly putting matter exactly where you want it all the time feels like such a radical change versus human assembly.

This is just so cool. Go RL!


I like that they're trying different approaches from spacex, them and stoke space which have a crazy concept. I hope both of them suceed.
