There's robots everywhere.

And...

So, like, BMW, like, they're, like, it's been a privilege to see how, like, much automation has gone into automotive.

It's unbelievable.

These machines, like, kind of make what we're doing sometimes look like little toys.

We're doing something very complicated, but the car manufacturing is just, like, no joke.

So, what specifically were the figures doing today?

Yeah, there's a body shop line that's basically building the rear header.

It's like the back plate.

So the body shop, they basically build the car by putting basically sheet metal together, welding them onto the chassis.

And then they're basically building the car around that.

Like you end up putting the seats in, bolting them down, putting the car doors in, wiring them up, the harnessing.

And we were in the body shop line helping basically attach the rear head, like basically putting the rear header on this fixture.

So today, we basically, or last year when we were there, we basically take a piece of sheet metal and we basically put it on this fixture.

And we do that over and over again.

And they do that, you know, 10 hours full shift.

Holy.

And there's three different parts on.

Those three parts go on.

This thing rotates, and this big, giant KUKA machine, like this robot arm, goes and spot welds it and switches it, switches out to another effector and then grabs it and puts it down the line.
