That’s not at all reassuring to someone who wants the benefit of the product, not the obligation to become an expert on the product.

I’ll buy one of these for sure, but I would cheerfully spend 3x the price if it meant being sure of support and repair and software updates for a few years.

I have bins full of exciting devices that no longer integrate, many of which have open source communities, which I just don’t have the time to deal with.

This is based on the open-source HuggingFace/LeRobot SO-101, so it'll probably be possible to fall back to that. Or you can just get an SO-101. But I think this is attempting to draft on that ecosystem, and this is cheaper than Alibaba parts to build an SO-101.
