Feed the line.

We fight for machines built near the need — and that needs you.

Many simple machines, built in volume near where they're needed, run on a steady supply of good parts. If you make compute, sensors, materials, or components, there's a place for you on the list.

What feeds the arms

Four kinds of supply.

Compute

Chips & edge boards

The hardware that runs the thinking offline — the best where it's available, the plainest where it's not.

Sensors

Eyes & ears

Cameras, radar, sound, and environmental sensing — the raw feeds the picture is built from.

Materials

Bodies & frames

The rugged, cheap materials that make a body buildable in numbers and repairable in the field.

Components

Motion & power

Motors, actuators, power, and the small parts that turn a design into a working machine.

How we buy

Simple, local where possible.

We favour parts we can get reliably and build with near the need — because supply lines break, and capability that depends on a distant, single source isn't capability, it's a hope. If you can supply steadily, at volume, and close to where it's used, you move to the front of the list.

Tell us what you make, where, and how much. We'll tell you where it fits.

Questions

Common questions

What parts do you need most?
Compute and edge boards, sensors, rugged materials, and motion and power components — the pieces that turn plain designs into working machines.
Do you prefer local suppliers?
Where we can, yes. Building near the need is core to the plan, so reliable, close-by supply moves to the front of the list.
