When we're holding something out and giving me the gummies, it's not moving now, but holding forces.
It's just a really hard engineering problem, just that one little aspect, which is hardware, umbrella, just motors.
And so we have whole teams in those areas, just in that one little area here doing rotor design, electromagnetics design, sater design, gearbox design.
sensor design, motor control design, all of this inside the teams.
It was an enormous lift to just get the team members there to do it.
So we spun up a team to go operate that really quick.
And then, you know, now like looking back, I think we raised, you know, two billion or so like now.
It's a much different story.
We have, you know, we ended up building figure one, which is our first generation robot, and had that walking in under 12 months.
Yeah, from when we...
We had basically incorporated the company in 2022.
Our goal was like, can we get a robot walking by itself in these dynamics in under 12 months?
And we did it.
We did it with like two days left in the year.
I mean, at the time, I think it was the fastest time in history for anybody to do this.
And, you know, and then from there, continue to build the capabilities.
We built Generation 2, Figure 2, which is that guy right there.
He's our second generation robot.
And...
And I think one thing we did before we kind of moved even while designing Gen 2 is, I think it was probably like 2023 at the time, we did a demonstration where
