I’m interested in the LeRobot AI controlled robotic arm project. However, I went to buy the servo motors for the SO-101 arms and got Tariff shocked. Does anyone know of a USA company to source alternative servos?

Same here 
Wanted to start this project recently and found out about this post-tariff price just now

Found this:
The only option is the “100 AI Arm Motor Kit.” (All 7.4V servos)
The “new 101” options listed on there are from China (so tariff…), and the “100 AI Arm Motor Kit Pro” (12V servos for follower arm) is out of stock.
Currently, for the only option mentioned above, the status on the website is “1 on backorder. Available on May 12, 2025”
Hope this helps, and fingers crossed.
