Most of the $is in the custom PCBs and components for the 'brains', the Actuators (motors in the Hips and Shoulders). Batteries, body parts, cameras, sensors, etc.
The more existing or standard parts used brings the cost WAY down. but those Actuators and servos... oof. costly. (for NOW...) they need to be able to support the robot (and whatever load it's carrying)
Decent "low-end" servos run about 900-1,000 bucks. - Volt's arm servos cost about 5 bucks each, and they have stripped a few times.
But our budget was kinda limited... heh.
"Robot repair" will be a side gig - Hope they make them repairable! (you can disassemble an Aibo using a paperclip)
Have a good weekend

When I was a little boy, Lost in Space was my favorite show....But during the last season I realized that the show had been ruined by letting Dr. Smith become the center of the show...He was a complete coward, an arrogant egotist, liar- and would sell out ANYBODY for absolutely anything.
A few years ago I thought up the perfect T-shirt statement for the show....."I would have SPACED Dr. Smith!!"[This message has been edited by cvxjet (edited 03-28-2025).]

I didn't care for Dr Smith either. Also, they never went anywhere. Was always partial to Robbie, Anne Francis not bad either!
