. The main bottleneck to robotics was brains not limbs
I feel that it is an overly optimistic take on the state of robotics, particularly the degree of human maintenance that equipment like this requires, how little of it is produced today, and how long it takes to bring new manufacturing on-line considering the deep supply chain needed. The robots described are not the robots of 2027, or even 2127. They are the robots from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
I know you had discourse on this before, and short form, even assuming the critics were correct and there were no mitigating factors, this still gives us an estimate of 250 million robots in 5 years (Though I agree it invalidates the story told), and also robots don’t have to be humanoid, which makes the task a lot easier:

I agree that we can’t get the story of cool robots by 2027, but it’s nowhere near as impossible as you portrayed it.
