Potentially good news on the component shortage front. In conversations with OSBOTS, they noted they currently have access to all components and are building a batch of 20 Solo12s! They have the vision to create an ecosystem and community of advanced robotic systems that can work together based on the best open-source projects. OSBOTS’ first batch will be priced at $8,500 per system, they are looking to finalize orders by the beginning of July.

Given component shortages and pricing it seems like a pretty good option, if only I weren’t halfway through a build myself. Looking forward to hearing updates once the first batch starts to ship. If you are interested submit an RFQ on their website https://www.osbots.co/solo12.
