I think you’re missing a few parts. The Autofac (as specified) cannot reproduce the chips and circuit boards required for the AI, the cameras’ lenses and sensors, or the robot’s sensors and motor controllers. I don’t think this is an insurmountable hurdle: a low-tech (not cutting-edge) set of chips and discrete components would serve well enough for a stationary computer. Similarly, high-res sensors are not required. (Take it slow and replace physical resolution with temporal resolution and multiple samples.)
Second, the reproduced Autofacs should be built on movable platforms so different groups can get their own. (Someone comes with a truck and a few forklifts, lifts the platform onto the truck, and drives the Autofac to the new location.)

If you look at what I wrote, you will see that I covered both of these.
