Worth noticing
The proposed 500-hour collection is broken into 300 hours of harness assembly, 150 of cabinet wiring and a 50-hour repeat set.

Field notes

The capture process is described as running during normal shifts at partner harness plants and panel shops, rather than in staged demonstrations. The proposed 500-hour mix includes a 50-hour repeat set for single-task policy training and evaluation; the page also says footage is reviewed by partner sites and identifying or sensitive details are blurred before delivery.
