We are past the point of theory.
For the first time ever, Figure’s robot count has passed its human count.

Cool milestone. The real one though is when there are more Figure humanoids helping build humanoids than humans...

@adcock_brett @Figure_robot Amazing - must be the first company of a significant size in history where that is the case. Must call for some fun office parties, or should we change the name to charge parties. :-) Thanks for sharing stats like this, I’m rooting for the company and your progress.

@adcock_brett @Figure_robot Where are all those robots going to, is it like they're about to be deployed or is it we're going to find a really big storage unit and put them there until a later date
