Been done. Twice now.
Though to be said, not nearly as great as the plan we have, but if this guy
can assemble 5 ‘pieces’, then we have got to come up with somethign bigger...

I’m going to go cry. :(
Seriously though, these other assembly projects are incredible, but all have one
major flaw (in my eyes): They’re slow. I’m expecting if we pull this off,
we’ll have a cadence of a few seconds per car; maybe 10 or so, tops. By
decentralizing everything into individual processes, the overall cycle time
drops substantially. It’s not like having one robot that does every function;
it’s delegated into smaller functions (stations/cells) that all happen in
parallel.
While each individual car might take a minute or two to make a full circuit of
the assembly line, we can have a car coming off like every 5 seconds.
