Unitree R1 & Cohort Procurement Packet

What a teaching lab, REU site, or outreach program needs to get a multi-unit robot purchase approved — verified US pricing per unit and per cohort, the spares math that budgets usually miss, FCC/regulatory status with dates, and budget-justification language ready to paste into a proposal. Updated August 13, 2026.

Merchants sell you one robot. We get a cohort approved. The packet is free; we verify every number in it at live US checkout and date every claim.

What's inside (preview)

Checkout-verified US pricing for the R1 line — Basic through Edu Pro — and for the quadruped platforms cohorts actually buy alongside it, each with its verification date
The spares line: what a cohort running the same platform all day consumes, priced — the line item that most often gets a purchase order sent back
Where identical hardware is priced differently between US sellers, and by how much, so a cohort budget is not quietly overpaying
Regulatory status after the July 28, 2026 Covered List restriction — including what happens to software and firmware updates on units bought now
Budget-justification boilerplate written for NSF REU/RET budget narratives and internal equipment requests
