“That’s why the robotic company is sending a team in. We won’t know until they do their diagnostic.”
“But will they be able to tell?To give a definitive answer?”
Ross shrugged. “I don’t have the technical expertise to answer that. I hope so, because, like I said, we have to make sure this never happens again.”
