        oh you wish, toys like that are so simple to assemble that the cheap-ass Alibaba brand knock off machines are more than sufficient, and the robot is suddenly cheaper than having to hose down the children every two says because they can’t get up to use the restroom, basically they have like 10% of the workforce still in the factories because the screws don’t screw themselves (well these robots exist as well, but actually require precision, so they cost money)
