Long term, robot cost will fall to $10,000-$20,000 per unit.

Long term, robot cost will fall to $10,000-$20,000 per unit. | over time you're going to get the robots down to 10 $20,000. So you're going to have a $10 to $20,000 robot there and you're going to have a really expensive robot, let's call it $50,000.
