No, we are not competing with Hamilton, Tecan, Cybio, or any of the other companies currently making big lab robots. i think of robots like the Hamilton Star as 'mainframe' machines. They are really great for centralized high-throughput, if you can afford one and have an automation engineer on the team.
The OT-One is aiming to be like a 'PC' rather than a 'mainframe' -- affordable, easy to use, and at a scale manageable by individuals. And with Mix.Bio you can download protocols to run, or design them in your browser. It is a lab robot for day-to-day use replacing manual pipetting.
