Quote:

"The company is called 3D Robotics and was co-founded by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Chris Anderson and his [26-year-old] Mexican computer whiz-kid partner, Jordi Munoz.

"The two founders met online and started producing robots in China but then realised it made better business sense to have one factory in San Diego and another just over the border in Tijuana. Wages in China have quadrupled. 'If you net in all our costs now it's almost at price parity with Shenzhen,' Chris Anderson said
