Summary
A post on X by @LeoKharon points to a new Robotics Stack episode in which Feather co-founder and CPO Parsa Bakhtiari discusses pricing. He says most robotics companies over-design their robots with overengineered five-axis CNC parts, and that this is why Feather can price its humanoid platform at $29,990. The post also links to a Feather post on X. The claim comes from the excerpt provided, which is cut off, so the full discussion is not visible here.

What happened
On a new Robotics Stack episode, Feather co-founder and CPO Parsa Bakhtiari says most robotics companies over-design their robots with overengineered five-axis CNC parts, which is why Feather can price its humanoid platform at $29,990.

Why it matters
The claim suggests that design and manufacturing choices can lower the price of humanoid robots, which is relevant to builders and buyers comparing platforms. Teams evaluating humanoid hardware may want to look closely at how parts and design affect cost and capability. Next, watch for the full episode and any pricing or design details Feather publishes to support the argument.
