And, but it was like, I knew what to do.

We built a 40 person team in like as fast as possible.

And I knew how to spin up hardware and software.

And again, you know, the key characteristics of robotics, like electric motors, battery systems,

uh, you know, control software, embedded systems, and sensors.

And then even within, like, electric motors, we build actuators.

They have, like, a rotor and stator and a gearbox and sensors, uh, electronics and wiring and connectors and, uh, multiple sensors inside of there.

Uh, and then firmware lives on the, the, like, say, the microcontroller lives inside the, on the motor control side.

And then we have thermal characteristics, because it's hot.

And then you got to make that work at very high speeds and high torques, meaning motors don't like working when they're not moving.

Motors hate not moving.

Motors want to run on highway speeds.

They love that.

Whether it's a generator or something, an appliance in your home or an electric car, they want to run at highway speeds.

They're designed to run at full RPMs.

That's when they're the most efficient.

When motors are stuck and not moving, but holding power and holding forces, it's a really bad point of the torque speed curve.

They're not built well for this.

Humanoid is used all the time.

When we're standing, we're not moving, but holding forces.
