Definitely the mechanics.

The electronics for this are nothing. a control system with a few dozen inputs and a small number of outputs plus coms.. Once you have a concrete design there are thousands of companies that will build tested circuit boards for you at a modest cost. If they were cost sensitive they could probably get the COGS for a tested board under $100.

Oh, and nobody would build this with either "programmable microchips" or a PLA. It would be a vanilla setup with an Arm SOC and eMMC. The crap one poster here has been talking about has been obsolete in this space for 2 decades.

For disposables, the only issue is the one time setup cost. That may not be chump change.
