No, not really. You can't hardly find anything out here that isn't made in China, Korea, or Taiwan.

Yes, we but most of our parts from Asia (primarily Taiwan and China). I spend a lot more time over there as well.

Why don't we get them from India? That way we can get all of our parts and tech support from the same place. Package deal!

Slave labor in a fear based command structure = cheap costs.

It probably cost more in electricity for us to operate a robot in the US vs. a human being in China.
