As outlined in a previous statement, Robo has been actively pursuing additional production partners to diversify its manufacturing risk, including mitigating potential production capacity constraints. The agreement with Foxconn is the culmination of an extensive search conducted by Robo to source a high-quality and cost-effective manufacturing partner for the Robo R2 smart 3D printer.
