    "Eva.i is a Kickstarter/crowdfunding product (campaign ran 2026-02-26 to 2026-04-27, 158% funded, 126 backers), not a shipping commercial product; Robonova's own FAQ describes the campaign's stated specs as 'planned', and separately states 'no autonomous walking' for the platform. All specs and capabilities here are manufacturer/campaign claims, none independently demonstrated as of 2026-09-20.",
    "robonova.world is a JavaScript-rendered storefront that could not be scraped directly; all quotes were retrieved via the Kickstarter campaign page (through a text-extraction proxy after Kickstarter's own page blocked direct fetches), its FAQ, and third-party campaign trackers (PledgeBox, KickTraq) that mirror the campaign's own copy and funding figures.",
    "Manufacturer states mass production/shipping targeted for August 2026 (per Kickstarter FAQ) — not yet reached at time of writing, so no delivery timeline event was added for it per this site's rule against inventing unreached events."
