- The page lists $760/m² as labour within an $802/m² figure; its 80× compression and $10/m² moonshot are explicitly pending.
Field notes
The programme begins with a single wall using a known mix, then proposes quick test walls that vary one factor at a time, including insulation and sensors. A first house built by the rig is a later stage, not a demonstrated capability on this page. Curly Tree House is identified as a hand-rammed 2023 example, distinct from the proposed robotic process.
