Well unless you are willing to pay 100k for a corolla, that’s not a very good idea.

Handcrafted means quality only because someone has to take the time to make it, check it, and correct any issues. All of this takes skill and time, significantly raising cost for what? Handcrafted doesn’t necessarily mean better built, just more attention to detail.

When it comes to quality control, you want consistency and nothing is more consistent than any robot designed to do one task repetitively.
