Team says no technical blockers remain for v1 self-replicating factory using off-the-shelf parts

An automation team claims there are no remaining technical bottlenecks to building v1 of a self-replicating factory that performs final assembly with off-the-shelf components, at precision comparable to assembling a robotic arm. They acknowledge limits: LLM-driven code works well for repetitive tasks in constrained environments like electronics assembly, but is slow and unreliable for non-repetitive work such as house cleaning.
