Worth noticing
The page labels the 1:14 Aegis film a design concept, AI-assisted, and not filmed; V2’s first article is still next.

Field notes

The engineering inventory names SolidWorks, FDM printing, Bridgeport milling, manual lathe work, SMD rework, Raspberry Pi 5, OpenCV, and bench debugging. For V2, the page reports a roughly 100-line BOM and supplier quotations, while explicitly placing the first article in the future. Earlier V1 iterations are described as built and running, with a documented failure traced to a 7.4 V battery pack used with 6 V-rated motors.
