Decision
Availability
Pre-order / early shipment depending on channel. Confirm config before you compare payload to G1.
All-in
Headline price is the point. All-in still includes tooling, shipping, and the person who will keep it walking.
Plan-change
R1 is a separate SKU from G1, not a G1 generation. If Unitree ships an R1 EDU-class refresh, it stays on this URL.
