The BOM for the components alone without the print is USD240. Why is the article talking about USD100?

Official repo says $114 per arm, but I didn't check their math :) https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot

Their build instructions state 242 for a single arm. Lots of contradicting information. Maybe they are betting on insane economies of scale... 🙄

Edit: Haha, I think I figured it out. USD 120 are the 3d print parts alone. That's not a false promise at all!

In the EU it is actually 114€ per arm
