Are you in a position to help us set up manufacturing in Brookly, at Factor e Farm, Loveland, Colorado? We are exploring the limits of relocalized production, where we end up making all of our production and automation equipment open source so that we can produce more cost-effectively than China.

Wanted: could we get a formal graph representation of the image above? by formal i mean lists of nodes and edges. with that, i can make a cleaner diagram
