And then I started digging into like the parts that go into these.
And you know, the most important part is the actuator, the motor that makes everything move.
And they're all made in China.
I think that's a good thing.
Yeah, I think
Yeah, but
yeah, I mean, you know, like Tesla sorta has the
Well, I was texted Elon about this last week 'cause I wanted to get to the to the bottom of who actually who actually makes actuators in the US.
I mean, Elon said sometimes they prototype
actuators in China, but they're gonna build them in the US.
And then, you know, for everybody else, this is a crazy point of weakness, I think, because
China is clearly the actuator motor capital of the world and and everybody else is buying them um from them.
And so I don't know, you know, as I dug into this story, I got um I'm not I'm not like, you know, I'm I I enjoy being an American.
I'm pretty pro US, I'm not crazy nationalist, but I I was I started to uh I started to get pretty afraid for the US robotic scene.
I've been thinking about this a lot.
I mean, at some point, I guess I guess with DJI, you know, you've got this different situation where they're being used by all the police forces, even
the military, I think it's like a much easier case for someone like SkyDio or s you know, politicians to come in and say, um, this doesn't make a lot of sense.
Clearly, like at this point of robotics, it seems a little less um of a threat to national security.
But the second the
armed forces or anyone's doing serious stuff with them, you know, I would think Unitry would be up next.
